Hi Tom, What kind of boards? Are we talking high reliability stuff going up in the Shuttle or my TV's remote? Will the boards be conformally coated? How are the boards shipped - packaging wise? Most of my cleaning 'issues' are after soldering not before but our assembly folks are down the hall from the bare board shop. Hans ~~~~~~~~ Hans M.
