Technetters -- If anyone out there is encapsulating coomponents and/or assemblies in both epoxy and silicones, are the areas where the encapsulation is done separated from each other? If so, in what ways (ie different rooms, dedicated cleaning lines, etc). If not, have you experienced any problems that might have been eliminated by seperating the areas? We are trying to make an informed decision as to how much physical separation is needed, if any. These are not clean room operations, by the way. Thanks in advance for any experiences.
