Fellow Techies,
Prompted by Graham Collins, I checked up with our customer
that had the problem of overcooked latex. (I did call them some time ago, but I
had a few distractions to take care of - not lethargy!)
On their behalf, thanks for all your inputs - unfortunately
they were reduced to spending many hours hand picking the stuff out of the
holes. The assemblies were "too valuable to mess around with
chemistries".
Guess it just leaves me to say....KEEP YOUR OVEN CALIBRATED SO
YOU DON'T OVERCOOK YOUR LATEX!
By the way, some of you will recall Doug Pauls observations
about latex residues adversely affecting circuit reliability? Well we have just
completed SIR trials on our new range of latex masks, and they look great. So if
anyone out there wants more info - and I avoid being flamed for spamming - let
me know and I will send you the data.
Regards,
Graham Naisbitt
