Ionizing air blowers do a good job of bleeding off the charge after the tape
removal has blown your sensitive components on the board.

Subject: [TN] Conformal Coat Masking


Can anyone out there recommend a good masking tape?

Desired properties, in approximate order of importance:
1. Withstands 85C indefinitely.
2. Sticks well, but peels off without leaving residue.
3. Antistatic a plus, but conductive probably not worth it (we
    use ionizing air blowers).
4. Inexpensive.

Our coatings are mostly urethanes, manually sprayed.
