Maybe I am missing something, but how does removing the solder mask increase current in a trace? Are you saying that the solder mask reduces heat dissipation to a significant degree? I would think that there were other variables that were more important. For example, having a power plane helps to spread the heat, increasing the dissipation of a trace. Typically both of these are small enough effects that they are not even considered when calculating the allowed current through a trace. Rick
