They are *******s when they do that. I've soaked boards in different
solvents for a few days to break the sealant down. Sometimes it'll form a
gel that you can brush off.

They spend money on parylene coating for a reason. It protects
the board from water, corrosion, and also prevents sneak paths
via conductive crap deposited on the traces.

But I'm sure *your* welders are kept in clean-room conditions,
and such would never ever be exposed to such hazards...
