Mike: We use peelable mask in ceratin situations. The worst part is peeling off the mask. Operators tend to want to pick off the mask with a pair of tweezers. Simply put, the removal is time consuming. Secondly, we've had some instances where peelable mask left behind a stain that seems to be imbedded in the base material. Very difficult to remove. I'm kinda puzzled by your comments that said.... " It seems to go against everything I've ever tried to accomplish with a solder mask and it makes me a little nuts to think a customer wants to undo what we try so hard to do!" Could you elaborate? Thanks.
