Mike, What kinds of problems with hold times have you seen with this
technology. By hold times I'm talking about from the time the boards hit
your dock to the time they are actually used on the production line and the
peelable spot mask is removed. Have there been any residues left on the
boards that have caused any problems. Did you have to change any
chemistries on the line running these masked products. What type of
soldering  did you use this with (wave or Reflow).
