My sincere thanks Werner.

Finally, I got all I wanted out of this as my dull solder joint world shines
more brightly now. However, there remains "experts" out there who do not
respect opinions, or "facts," concerning the affects of thick or thin IMC's.

My last question on the subject is how thick is too thick or thin - and, if
this is a valid question, what should be expected over the course of HASL,
wave, reflow, hand, and rework soldering?

Thanks again,

Earl Moon
