I cannot believe that people say to remove the components first, this is very time consuming. It is not necessary, you can dry them fast in a 60C 1%RH low Humidity cabinet, without causing any oxidization and wettability problems.
Jos Brehler, Totech EU BV, Netherlands
Your program did not address the issue of whether or not baking is required. It referred to the IPC spec and stopped there. In order to make your programs more valuable to the listeners you should be talking about case studies and the like.
Tim Bibens, Surmotech
Dry your boards, otherwise they'll develop local de-lams ("Measles") under clumsy point heating. Measles are non-repairable. Well-dried boards are much more robust to sequences and processes of rework and special soldering ops. Wet boards will cause all sorts of mischief. Bake-out under nitrogen if you have vulnerable pad finishes. Store in dry cabinets, in-process.
