A light swabbing of toluene will ensure you don't have any residues, anywhere. Not even inside of your casket.

Dewey,
Will I don't disagree, stripping of an entire assembly, especially if you have thousands, is incredibly wasteful and often causes as many problems as it solves. Global stripping involves immersion in toluene or xylene and creates a LOT of flammable waste and often gets into other connectors and keep out zones where it causes problems. The media blasting is a dry process and the residues easily removed. I would suggest a light toluene swab of the area anyway to make sure that you don't have any residual coating on the pads that would interfere with a good solder joint.

I would wait for Doug on this, since he takes his lead from Graham on sartorial splendor and is more used to partially coated affairs. I would strip the whole assembly if possible as the process does an excellent job of prepping the substrate for re-coating.

Dear Technos,
We need to locally strip the acrylic coating (1B31S) from a few components, on a few thousands of boards. Right now we're using Q-tips to do the rubbing and, besides having to pluck tons of fibers afterwards, we're also going through a lot of Q-tips.
So the question is: is there anything else we can use, that will be more effective, cleaner and more economical?
Thank you,
Ioan Tempea
