Mike,
Most people use a combination of liquid
latex masks, tapes and moulded rubber boots to mask their assemblies.
The methods used depend to a certain extent
on the method of application and the susceptibility of the coating to capillary
action due to the components in question.
Try HumiSeal
www.humiseal.com - they should be able to point you in the right direction for
masking materials.
Hope this helps,
Best Regards,

[TN] Masking For Conformal Coating
Hello,
Im just getting into coating a UV
curable material and was wondering what others use to mask parts that you dont want coating on, such as LED's and odd shaped
connectors. Any suggestions would be appriciated.
