FR4 -- Hi, how to automate FR4 sticking one a small section of flex circuit? Currently, we're sticking one by one manually. I need some ideas to improvise, like, loading in 1 flex circuit, then the machine sticks Fr4 onto the flex. Any suggestions please.

Is there a Selective Soldering board design IPC standard? -- We are fairly new to selective soldering. I would like to find out if there is an IPC PCB design standard to allow for selective soldering.
