Okay here's another picture. I printed a solder sample and sent it
through the oven and this is what it looked like:

You can see all the non-wetting going on. The board  was profiled and it
was fine. We are using a FCT Assembly WS889 SN100C solder paste.

What is even more strange is that the first side of the board looked
okay, but the second side looks like in the photos, like the problem is
confined to one side of the board if that's possible.

The solder sample was only reflowed once, but I printed the paste on the
side that was to be built last. Weird huh?

I know you can't tell anything for sure just from some photos, but it's
the strangest thing I've seen in a while...

Here's one picture:

http://stevezeva.homestead.com/NonWetting.jpg

Look at the left pad and the tarnish that you see there, does that look
like tarnished nickel?

This is after the board was washed. I have places all over the board
that looks like this. 

I'll post a picture of what it looks like after I printed a solder
sample with paste and sent it through the reflow over

Hi all,

It's funny that the HASL topic has come up today, because we just ran a
board today that supposedly was lead-free HASL finished, and man it
looks like crap!

Question; does a PCB get nickel before it gets Lead-free HASL'ed?
