We have recently encountered a problem that we haven't seen before: The solder joint appears to be wetting ok and the solder is re-flowing but the appearance of the solder after re-flow is pitted. Using Kester 531, humidity around 41% temperature around 75 deg. Any ideas as to what might be causing this? Re-flow temp is 260 c.

This sounds like a "perfectly fine" no-lead solder connection. What the composition of: * Solder alloy? * Solderability protection on components?
