Steve,
To me it looks like some PBs that I got that were ImSn, that I sent back (I don't allow ImSn) to be stripped and redone with HASL. Reminds me of a brand of depends, "never wet again".

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:

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?
