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 Dave. Much better to store as he suggested then to store them in piles on the floor. Ha! Piles of boards... never ceases to be funny.... :-p Funny though...my customers don't seem to find it as funny as I do. I wonder why....

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.

If it works with a mylar stencil, I don't see why it wouldn't work with a stainless steel stencil. I agree that rubber squeegees would work better then metal.

| Al, | | In general, I would agree with Justin and Scott, with the exception that I don't feel a laser cut stencil is required when printing 25 and 20 or even 16 mil pitch. We make a good chem etch stencil that will print fine pitch great if you ev
