I have the same equipment and the same chemicals and have had the same problem. The part of the stencil which is glued to the mesh is being destroyed by the ultra sonics in the equipment. The only solution I found is to seal the glued part of the ste

Why don't you try some nano-marvel-snake-potion ?

Did you try 0.12 or 0.1mm nano coated stencil @ 10 mil aperture? A soak time type profile with long reflow time could help.

Yes, 0.25x0.25 square could work @0.1 thickness, use nano-coating or electroform stencil for better solder paste release.

Hege, the Nano coating goes on the opposite of the squeegee side of the stencil. I don't know if the cleaning paper is able to remove it little by little with the time, but I never refreshed my stencils with Nano coating and they work just fine. How

I have been told that stencil nano-coatings are rain-x in a different container. I guess I half believed it until I opened up a sample the other day. It smells EXCACTLY like rain-x. For those of you that have never smelled rain-x it has a very distin

I do not know of a way to measure the nano-coating. However, it is easy to check if it is still on the stencil. Simply use a 'sharpe' pen and try and mark the bottom (PCB) side near any openings. If it easily marks, then the nano is no longer present
