Hi Ed
It may seem logical to carry out the masking to save money. However,
from my experience in our coating service you should leave it to the
experts. The reality is Parylene masking can be very, very challenging.
Better to avoid the recriminations at the end of it if the masking fails
and the fingers start to point.
Let Lloyd take the responsibility, he's got broad shoulders ;-)
Best Regards
Dr Lee Hitchens
