    one of our members has a question can any one help him ?

    Does anyone know if it is possible to remove the resin from a Team Delta board and how to do it. I have a relay that is broken and Team Delta will replace it if I can get the resin off. Any help out there? Don

    hmmm... I would use the tip of a very sharp exacto knife, trace a square outline around the relay in the expoxy, and slowly start chipping away at the epoxy layer inside, using the knife blade to try and lift up small sections at a time. You'll only need to get the epoxy around the base of the relay, and over the solder contacts underneath (if it's on that side, I don't have one in the house to look at).

    You'll eventually need a desoldering tool (aka a solder-sucker) and a soldering iron to remove the solder that holds the relay in place.

    Monk, did you get my email?
