 //i have had a few peeling pads when doing these boards, it seems that the recoil from the pump hitting the hot pad/trace can strip it off sometimes...

   * Make sure your board is //​clean!// ​ A bare copper board has noticable oxidization within minutes. ​ Before soldering, consider lightly scrubbing your board with steel wool and a little solvent (isopropyl alcohol works well). ​ Even tinned/​plated boards are filthy - you'd be surprised what you wipe off if you pour a little alcohol on it and rub it vigorously with a paper towel.   * Make sure your board is //​clean!// ​ A bare copper board has noticable oxidization within minutes. ​ Before soldering, consider lightly scrubbing your board with steel wool and a little solvent (isopropyl alcohol works well). ​ Even tinned/​plated boards are filthy - you'd be surprised what you wipe off if you pour a little alcohol on it and rub it vigorously with a paper towel.

 Black Light - The best and easiest way I've found for checking if there are any bad solders or shorts on my boards is to look at the boards under a black light (I'm using a screw in fluorescent bulb). The resin board comes out bright green and the solder, which I find a pain to see clearly sometimes, comes out dark purple. You can easily see any missed pins or anything else that may cause problems later on. -MOG151;) Black Light - The best and easiest way I've found for checking if there are any bad solders or shorts on my boards is to look at the boards under a black light (I'm using a screw in fluorescent bulb).
