I agree. I would have preferred the spray method. Customer unfortunately is asking for the dip method. Coating will be Acrylic.

There is more training for the conformal coat operator needed (look for and correct drips, etc.) prior to being sent to inspection. Your conformal coat waste is going to be greater. What type of conformal coat material are you using for this? Do you already use a spray booth for conformal coating? Gary Bremer Senior Manufacturing Engineer Curtiss-Wright Controls Inc.

Smith [mailto:[log in to unmask]] Sent: Tuesday, January 10, 2006 1:41 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: [TN] Manual conformal coat dipping process Fellow technetters. Anyone out there have experience with 'manually' dip coating conformal coat. I have never done the dipping coating process. Machine spray and hand spray I have done. The concept sounds simple enough but I was looking for advice on process got ya's or issues to watch for when doing the dipping. Our customer is requiring the dipping process and currently doesn't wish to spend the money on more automated equipment.
