Hi Genny
A good place to start would perhaps be to talk to Dymax
http://www.dymax.com/ (no affiliation).  We borrowed a UV cure wand from
them and tried some UV cure materials.  Worked well, but I couldn't cost
justify it for the project - it was to bond some jumper wires.  


regards,

Thanks.  The general principle of UV curing sounds fantastic, but it's a
bit of which came first - chicken or the egg...
We've never used UV cure materials here, and we don't have any of the
equipment to do it.
I looked into it a bit last year, but like I said in different words
below, 'I don't know what I don't know'.  I don't know exactly what I
need for equipment, or what material to use where, and I don't know how
to get up to speed on this process.

A UV cure material?

Subject: [TN] Coatings, epoxies, etc crash course

Hello all,
I do a lot of component and material sourcing, crossing, and spec'ing.
Probably the area I struggle with the most is the materials, like
epoxies for board repairs, or adhesives, or sealants, cleaners, etc
etc,...I did electrical engineering, not chemical.
Is there any good resource place to get a handle on when you want an
acrylic versus an epoxy, or silicone, or ... basic properties, what
environment they are needed for, etc.
A specific sourcing question I have right now - for challenging board
repairs we use specially trained operators in a rework cell that use a
2-part epoxy to repair FR4.  One product has a track cut, that usually
causes weave exposure, that happens on every board on the line to allow
for different configurations, and they want a way to protect it
adequately with a 1-part quick curing material without sending it to the
rework cell.  We've tried those conformal coat pens, and they can be
washed right off the board.  Any suggestions?

Genny
