Charles Barker@I-O INC 02/24/98 08:37 AM Ken, We use stainless steel glue dot stencils. Some folks use glue slits (or slots) instead of dots. Works fine and is much quicker that a dispensing machine if you have a lot of parts on the secondary side. Of course, all the side parameters of time and costs have to be taken into consideration when making the decision of stencil vs. dispensing.

Does anyone know any contact house uses glue printing method? Any help will be appreciated. re, ken patel ______________________________________________________ Ken Patel Phone: (408) 490-6804 1708 McCarthy Blvd. Fax: (408) 490-6859 Milpitas, CA 95035 Beeper: (888) 769-1808 ################################################################ TechNet E-Mail Forum provided as a free service by IPC using LISTSERV 1.8c ################################################################ To subscribe/unsubscribe, send a message to [log in to unmask] with following text in the body: To subscribe: SUBSCRIBE TechNet <your full name> To unsubscribe: SIGNOFF TechNet ################################################################ Please visit IPC web site (http://jefry.ipc.org/forum.htm) for additional information.
