Bring out the MEK.
Just try not to melt the SoC with it.

Seriously -
Use a hypodermic syringe with a very fine needle to put a drop just where you want to scrub (with a q-tip?).
Your sources would be an animal feed store or a human pharmacy - just ask for u-100 syringes, they come in a pack of 10 - no prescription needed.
Be quick - expect the MEK to melt the disposable syringe nearly as fast as the solder mask. |
Indeed, that solder mask is tough stuff! I decided to not take a chance with the MEK. Caffeine jitters today, I might melt more than just the SoC!
And I was afraid it wouldn't stop at the mask and attack the rest of the board. That's the least of my worries now, though.
