| | BACKGROUND. How many times do you see folks come to work all painted-up and then by the time first break comes, the lipstick, eye liner, and who knows what else are gone and they�re heading for the facilities to "freshen-up." I wonder if they might be getting make-up on their hands by subconsciously touching their faces and then touching boards. And it's not just the ones with heavy make-up, that you notice, a lot of people wear make-up that's not as noticable.

|
| |
|
| | 1 So are make-up wearers spreading the stuff all over our boards?
|
| | 2 Is make-up good for boards?
|
| | 3 How do you get people to quit wearing make-up at work?

| Hi Dave,
|
| To answer your questions,
|
| 1: Most of the make-up that disappears during the workday is absorbed into the wearer's skin. Some of it may be transmitted tactilly from the face to the board, but if make-up rubbed off that easily, you'd see it all over people's clothing, telephones, microscopes, ESD smocks, keyboards, etc. I'd say the concern about make-up getting on the boards by touching them is about equal to the concern of people not washing their hands after using the lavatory.
|
| 2: Makeup is only good for boards if it is in "retro" colors: green eyeshadow, gold & silver & copper sparklies - to compliment the motif of the board. Earth tones or neutrals would definitely clash with solder mask.
|
| 3: How do you get women to stop wearing make up to work? Probably in the same way you try to get men to wash their hands after using the facilities. Try posting signs.
| Good luck.
