Scott,

You probably will not find a good source of information for glue
stencil patterns.    I have in-house developed glue stencil
patterns we use.  Typically we use 8-10mil stencil thickness with
a  rubber squeegee and use printable glue (that's what one glue
mfg claims).  However I don't have an extensive experience
using our in-house developed glue patterns,  So far so good any
way.  If you are interested in, I can fax you our glue patterns for
your eyes only.  Let me know.

We have recently started using stencils to apply glue to the
bottom side of
our boards (as opposed to glue dotting) prior to pick & place.
The problem
is that we do not have a good source of information, i.e. stencil
patterns
for given component footprints.  Does anyone know where more
can be found
on this subject? And if so, point me in the right direction.  Thanks
in
advance for any helpful suggestions.
