So it happens in real life. This would indeed be a killer. How about chemically unstable surface finishes, like OSP ? Is the degradation of the finish an issue in cases where you combine SMT with a later TH pass ? If yes, would you consider taking your chances with solder paste in this case ? Or is OSP simply incompatible with a mixed SMT+TH process and nobody in their right mind would try such a combination ?
