Hi,

I have an application where I cannot use a solder mask...I
require that the copper be exposed. My main problem is that
after board assembly, no matter how careful I assemble to
boards (wearing rubber gloves, cleaning the copper), smudges
and slight oxidation occur to the copper.

So, after I assemble a board, I would like to rinse the
copper with a mild acid that would remove the oxidation
layer. Does anyone have any experience doing that?
What/where should I try to procure this acid? Or am I
offbase in even thinking of using an acid?

Curious,

Craig Deibele
