Use the no clean solder.  Not all the user guides explicitly tell you to fill in the via holes but it's proper procedure to do it.  I've actually gone back to a few modules I finished to fill them in which meant taking it apart to get at the back of the board.

 

I don't know the answer to the 100pF caps.  I'm confident that Paul has a good reason to not wash them.

Subject: [motm] vias question

 


I have a feeling this has been asked before, and might have even been
the one to answer it, but I forget now...

If a kit doesn't say anything about the vias, I know we are supposed
to fill them in anyway, but what if you don't remember until the
board is populated with unwashable parts??  Should I use "no clean"
to fill the vias??

Also, what's the deal with those silver 100pF axial caps -- why can't
they be washed??  I figured if they weren't sealed they would oxidize.


Yes, it's like Christmas in April considering the ground is covered in snow.

So I bought a Hakko 493 solder fumes gizmo.  It seem to work very
well.  I strongly recommend one for anyone who solders with the
windows closed.
