All, Should I be concerned with conformally coated solderwave dross contamination that spans over masked traces? The normal service environment of the product should not cause the material to fall free, and none of the contamination is close enough to violate minimum electrical clearance from soldered connections. I have representative photos if you'd like to see one...
