Describe the purpose(s) of the solder mask layer.

The solder mask controls or indicates where the solder will be placed on the printed circuit board pads during a process called wave soldering. This solder will only connect the components to the solder pads. When making only one or two boards with a simple design a solder mask may not be needed. Additionally, the solder mask adds corrosion protection to the printed circuit board traces.
