Ramon,
Yes.
Don't do it and spare yourself the cruel and unusual punishment.
Depending on your customers and critical end-use applications, the
amount of effort to do this and control it is incredible. It can be
done, but it extracts a heavy toll. Even meager efforts in-house with
chips is a waste of dough( now class did you catch the joke? Toll house
morsels = Chips( chocolate) = waste of dough. Good you earned your
chocolate chip cookie).

        Hello TechNetters:
                        	
        Does anyone know of companies that are replating parts with Sn63
and reballing BGAs? Could any one share         their experiences in
doing this effort? Things such as:  extra time needed, cost,
reliability....... 
        Regards and TIA,
        Ramon Dehoyos,
