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

Rain X goes on windshields. Nano coating goes in the garbage. Order your stencils correctly from a reputable stencil house and fugetaboutit.

I am about to order a stencil and I can already see that I'm going to have issues. I'm hoping someone has a recipe for this scenario that we haven't tried yet. The parts are 16 mil pitch bga's, the pads are NSMD (10 mil dia. with 12.6 mil mask open

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

Has anybody else tried using stencils coated with Nano ProTek? I did find that I could reduce my cleaning frequency and squeegee pressure, which should help to increase stencil life, but I'm finding that it seems to wear off quicker than I thought i

Nowadays I cut everything with nano-coat. it does improve release and adds 25% to the stencil price. Adds a little more time to cure the coat.
