    Pulled my WPC89 sound board to install a Pinsound and some of the green covering flaked off . Should I repair this somehow ?

    Board will remain a spare or get sold .

    Quoted from ChrisHibler:The solder mask is of the greatest use when the board is manufactured. It "masks" parts of the board so that solder doesn't stick to those areas.
    Nothing to worry about.
    Leave it be.

    Quoted from ChrisHibler:

    Here's an example of a time where a solder mask would have been GREAT!
    It took me 4 hours to find this micro-bridge. Argh.
