Try another solder paste manufacturer. Aim out of Rhode Island, Alpha and or Kester. I'm sure that they will be of better assistance than the current supplier. Good Luck

I have samples coming in, AIM and ALPHA, Multicore use to have manufacturing in the same town but disappeared. Your right about getting better help fro other, Indium is the worse I have ever had to deal with. They act like I am bothering them when I

Hmmm.. you are in a pickle then. I have AIM's "Reflow Profile Supplement" where they recommend a Low-Long-Soak (LSS) profile for situations like your's. It's an old-school type profiling approach where you ramp up to 120*C for about 1 min. then soa
