PROCEDURE
1. Clean the area.
CAUTION
Surfaces to be coated must be thoroughly cleaned prior to coating to ensure
adequate adhesion, minimized corrosion, and optimized electrical properties.
2. If needed, apply Polyimide tape to outline the area where the coating will be
applied. (See Figure 1.)
3. If required, bake the printed wiring board prior to the application of the replace-
ment coating.
4. Mix the replacement coating.
5. Apply the replacement coating to the board surface as required. A brush or foam
swab may be used to apply and spread the replacement coating. (See Figure 2.)
For large surfaces, apply the replacement coating with a foam swab to create a
texture.
6. Cure the replacement coating per the manufacturer’s instructions.
CAUTION
Some components may be sensitive to high temperature.
EVALUATION
1. Visual examination for texture, color match, adhesion and coverage.
2. Electrical tests to conductors around the repaired area as applicable.

with foam swab to create a texture.

OUTLINE
This procedure covers baking and preheating of printed boards and printed board
assemblies to prepare the product for the subsequent operations. Included are steps
for:
A. Baking
Baking is used to eliminate absorbed moisture. Whenever possible printed wir-
ing boards and printed wiring board assemblies should be baked prior to solder-
ing, unsoldering and coating operation to prevent blistering, measling or other
laminate degradation.
B. Preheating
Preheating is used to promote the adhesion of subsequent materials to the
board surfaces and to raise the temperature of the printed wiring board to allow
soldering and unsoldering operations to be completed more quickly.
CAUTION
Baking and preheating procedures must be carefully selected to ensure that tem-
perature and time cycles used do not degrade the product. Environmental conditions
must also be carefully considered to ensure that vapors, gases, etc., generated dur-
ing the heating process do not contaminate the product’s surfaces.
CAUTION
To prevent fluxes or other contaminates from being baked onto the board surface,
thoroughly clean the board or assembly prior to baking or preheating.
