:) Thanks Carrie. I have thought a little more about my posting and will amend it to: No-clean solder paste IPA as wash solvent But I will take whatever answers people can/will give.

We saw no visible difference in wetting. We were using OA solder pastes (I believe they were ORH1 and ORM0) We use a pure DI wash at 140F. And, the OSP was Entek. Of course, if you are using different chemistries then your results will differ...and those differences will be....well....uh....THAT DEPENDS!! :-) -Carrie -----Original Message----- From: TechNet [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Bev Christian Sent: Wednesday, May 11, 2005 12:51 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: [TN] Washing OSP boards TechNetters, If one were to wash misprinted OSP boards would it be worse to a) leave the solder paste on 4 hours and then wash and use right away or b) wash right away and then let sit four hours before reprinting and reflowing I looked in the archives, but didn't find anything that was particularly helpful. This is a general question so I can't give solvent, wash time (and thus amount of OSP left). So, Doug P., don't give me "it depends" as an answer!
