That is what I was thinking that the Heat would melt the resist, as I use positive resist boards and have left the Positive Resist on and soldered the board and the resist just melts away when heated with the soldering iron. He was doing solder paste and reflow in a oven but still I would think that all the resist would break down in the heat of the oven.
