Kester Techform TC 564-1 water soluble mask is a good product. Cures at room temp in minutes, and can be soldered when not completely "dry". It's the best we have tried, and has a one year shelf like at room temp. > I would also like to know if there were any problem that occured with the >spot mask during the wave or cleaning process ? None. Dissolves completely in 140 F waterwash, no residual visible, cleaned boards will pass SEC testing. regards, Jerry Cupples Interphase Corporation Dallas, TX USA http://www.iphase.com *************************************************************************** * TechNet mail list is provided as a service by IPC using SmartList v3.05 * *************************************************************************** * To subscribe/unsubscribe send a message <to: [log in to unmask]> * * with <subject: subscribe/unsubscribe> and no text in the body. * *************************************************************************** * If you are having a problem with the IPC TechNet forum please contact * * Dmitriy Sklyar at 847-509-9700 ext. 311 or email at [log in to unmask] * ***************************************************************************
