One of my colleagues has a HASL finished board, that sat in our stockroom for ~ 10 years, and of course he want to use them (EOY Billing).



Ran the board through wave soldering, and it did not solder at all. Good news was that the board was not damaged by the heat - it just was not solderable. I do not want to use a more active flux since it will be difficult to clean.



Are there any solutions / processes that can restore board solderability?



Thanks in advance.
