We don't know dip about your Linear Tech LGA118, but we agree with published reports that say you should have between 4800 and 7000 thou^3 of paste on the pad for a LGA. These volumes were analyzed based on volumes found successful for CGA and then e

I agree with the others - I just don't see the danger. We've been using air to help clean stencils for decades.

We agree with the previous poster. Open-up your aperture to increase the amount of solder paste. If you don't have a heel fillet, go home.

Hey Frazzled, you mean you don't prefer the back and forth flaming wars when someone disagrees with an opinion? How about "Agree" & "Disagree" for starters. Later we can add "YGTBK"(you got to be kidding), and "WP" (Wrong Planet) Great idea Frazz

I agree with AFlex. Don't tin stranded wire that's assembled into a screw terminal block. I believe the reasoning has to do with avoiding stress on the wire metal caused by different expansion rates of the solder and the wire. BR davef

I agree with Jim. Don't do it!!! The tech from SparkFun [on the YouTube video] is giving you his hobbyist trick, which: * For hobby prototyping will work just fine. * For production work, the process is not in control and should not be considered.

The answer is usually either too much paste or paste being deposited where it doesn't belong. In some instances the two are related. You don't say what kind of parts you're having problems with and that matters too. I agree with the previous poste

We agree with your statements. 1. Having manually printed board will compromise your print and you don't know how much paste you have on each pad. 2. LEDs falling off that easily might be related to contamination, considering that your profile is not

Agree, Kapton. But that is a brand made by DuPont. If you don't have access to that specific brand. The generic term is polyimide tape.
