Here is an age old question. Does anyone here have a sure fire way to combat insufficient solder. I have tried all teh tecniques from what I know of. These consist of changing stencil thicknesses, changing pastes, re-training ops to IPC-610-D. I am at a lost. It seems that each operator sees insufficient solder differently and it is almost an excuse from them to keep busy and make added "touch up." I am almost ready to through the category out the door b/c it is so subjective adn people are so fickle. Any ideas out there? Ronald D. Peeler Jr., B.S.
