    Outline
    This method is used to repair mechanical or thermal
    blisters or delaminations in circuit board laminated
    base materials. The blister is sealed by injecting a
    low viscosity epoxy into the blister/delamination void.
    Caution
    This method can only be used when the laminate
    base material has separated sufficiently to allow the
    epoxy to flow throughout the void area.

    Precision Drilling, Grinding and Cutting


    The Micro-Drill is the ideal tool for precision drilling,
    grinding and cutting.

    Minimum Skill Level - Advanced


    Recommended for technicians with soldering and
    component rework skills and exposure to most
    repair/rework procedures, but lacking extensive
    experience.
    Conformance Level - High
    This procedure most closely duplicates the physical characteristics of the original, and most probably
    complies with all the functional, environmental and serviceability factors.

    Figure 2: Inject epoxy into the


    delamination blister.

    Procedure
    1. Clean the area.
    2. Drill into delamination blister with the Micro-Drill and ball mill. Drill in an area clear of circuitry or
    components. Drill at least two holes opposite each other around the perimeter of the delamination.
    (See Figure 1) Brush away all loose material.
    Caution
    Be careful not to drill too deep exposing internal circuits or planes.
    Caution
    Abrasion operations can generate electrostatic charges.
    3. Bake the circuit board to remove any entrapped moisture. Do not allow the circuit board to cool prior
    to injecting the epoxy.
    Caution
    Some components may be sensitive to high temperature.
    4. Mix the epoxy. See manufacturers instructions on how to mix epoxy without bubbles.
    Caution
    Exercise care to prevent bubbles in the epoxy mixture.
    5. Pour the epoxy into the epoxy cartridge.
    6. Inject the epoxy into one of the holes in the delamination. (See Figure 2) The heat retained in the
    circuit board will improve the flow characteristics of the epoxy and will draw the epoxy into the void
    area filling it completely.
    7. If the void does not fill completely, the following procedures may be used:
    A. Apply light local pressure on the board surface starting at the fill hole, slowly proceeding to the
    vent hole.
    B. Apply vacuum to the vent hole to draw the epoxy through the void.
    8. Cure the epoxy per Procedure 2.7 Epoxy Mixing and Handling. Scrape away any excess epoxy using
    a knife or scraper.
    Note
    If needed, apply additional thin coating to seal any scrapped areas.
    Evaluation
    1. Visual examination for texture and color match.
    2. Electrical tests to conductors around the repaired area as applicable.
    Procedure for reference only.
