Hi Lloyd, I'm sorry I didn't make it clear. I'm referring to water soluble masks before wave solder, not conformal coating....

With masking you want to get the masking material off before the coating has completely cured to minimize lifting and peeling. The washing machine could damage that uncured coating. Plus the coating is covering the masking so the water will not touch the masking to dissolve it until the coating is removed from it first. I tried it with parylene and we had to pick holes in the film so the water could access the masking then go back and trim off the excess after the masking dissolved and we were left with a "tent" of film Re-usable boots are ideal but could be costly when you have many different style/sizes of connectors. Like we tell all our customers, cheapest way to coat something is leave off all the connectors!!
