I would get a can or RAID and spray your incoming boards!

Hi All! Well, I've run across some strange problems in my time, but this one is a new one to me. I was on the production floor just after lunch, close by one of our final inspectors looking at something under her microscope, when I hear her say; "What the heck is this?" then I hear this big; "EWWWWWW!" from her... "Steve! Steve! You gotta' look at this!" she says to me. I pull up a chair and peer into the microscope, and I have to say, I've never, ever seen this before. Take a look at: http://www.stevezeva.homestead.com/files/StrangeMaskDefect.jpg and http://www.stevezeva.homestead.com/files/StrangeMaskDefectCloseUp.jpg What should I do? Should I send this to a lab or something? I don't know what to tell my inspectors, much less explain this to our customer...this really tops my list as one of the strangest defects I have ever seen. -Steve Gregory- --------------------------------------------------- Technet Mail List provided as a service by IPC using LISTSERV 1.8e 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 or (re-start) delivery of Technet send e-mail to [log in to unmask]: SET Technet NOMAIL or (MAIL) 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/contentpage.asp?Pageid=4.3.16 for additional information, or contact Keach Sasamori at [log in to unmask] or 847-615-7100 ext.2815 ----------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------- Technet Mail List provided as a service by IPC using LISTSERV 1.8e 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 or (re-start) delivery of Technet send e-mail to [log in to unmask]: SET Technet NOMAIL or (MAIL) 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/contentpage.asp?Pageid=4.3.16 for additional information, or contact Keach Sasamori at [log in to unmask] or 847-615-7100 ext.2815 -----------------------------------------------------
