Dont forget, any adhesive flux can be used on SIPAD boards. The only hook is, it must be applied just prior to placement, so that means printing it yourself. Only the Promosol no-clean is designed to be applied and dried, papered and shipped. Printing flux is extremely forgiving and easy to do. No hi tech printer needed, just a hand screening table will do. Kester makes the TSF line which comes in no-clean, H2O, and others exist. The paste will already be there in solid form. Just print the flux and send it into the chip shooter. The stencil can be shipped with the boards to avoid extra cost. mk --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Technet Mail List provided as a free service by IPC using LISTSERV 1.8d To unsubscribe, send a message to [log in to unmask] with following text in the BODY (NOT the subject field): SIGNOFF Technet To temporarily halt delivery of Technet send e-mail to [log in to unmask]: SET Technet NOMAIL To receive ONE mailing per day of all the posts: send e-mail to [log in to unmask]: SET Technet Digest Search the archives of previous posts at: http://listserv.ipc.org/archives Please visit IPC web site http://www.ipc.org/html/forum.htm for additional information, or contact Keach Sasamori at [log in to unmask] or 847-509-9700 ext.5315 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
