Rick, you should also consider getting a copy of IPC-CC-830 "Qualificaiton and Performance of Electrical Insulating Compound for Printed Board Assemblies". (Revision A of this document is in the final stage of Interim Final Balloting but is still a couple of months away from publication.)\ You can order IPC-CC-830 from IPC Customer Service at 847.509.9700 or through our web site at http://www.ipc.org. Cost is $15 members/$20 non-members.

Specifically, I looking for any help or pointers I can get on sources of equipment, specific types (SR, etc) I should consider, environmental and health concerns and regulations, etc. Spraying appears to be our best application method at this point. Any comments on building a spray booth vs. purchasing a unit from one of the vendors supplying these would also be appreciated. Thanks in advance for any tips you might provide.
