Tech world, Got a problem with removing breakaway tabs. When we remove them, the masking is peeling off with the breakaway and some times it runs into the traces. I started to blame the assemblers, I thought they were being to ruff but when it came time for me to remove the tabs the same thing happen to me. Has anyone ran into this problem and if so what is the root cause. Any help would be appreciated.
