Hi Gary: Its been a while since we talked. The flux is applied to the SMT locations after the initial deposit is flattened. Here is link to the flux being used. http://www.midwestpcb.com/sales/Kehoe/Ecotack_SP37_SP37i.pdf At the EASi Assembly Expo 1999 at McCormick Place then ran 3000 Sipad boards through a fully automatic line.

Steve, I would bet you can't feed these on a destacker. What's is the category of flux being used? It is applied on the entire board surface or just at the soldering locations?
