Kerry,

The soldermask issue must be addressed for all board types and solder
termination area finishes. Please remember one important thing, as you know
already, and that is you are not pressing anything into a thin surface
finish. You are pressing into a carefully drilled, prepared, and copper
plated hole. If the drilling, hole wall preparation, and copper plating is
not as CAREFULLY SPECIFIED, you will not get the effects specified.
