I've been soldering for decades. Recently I decided to get into SMD soldering, reflow and stenciling. Before purchasing this paste I used solder paste from a syringe and toothpick to put a blob on the pads. Using this stencil solder paste is great! It stays wet enough for me to find and place 64 components on the board. It's about an hour of hunting, gathering and posting. Excellent! Once prepared, this solder adheres very well to the board and components. My boards use TQFP44 pin chips, so far
