We have been using unmounted stencils for 4 years. Easy to store and less expensive. Our stencil supplier gave us a pair of universal mounts for our printers. Watch the sharp edges. We haven't had any cuts but the potential is always there.

Some UV cure coatings do not have the correct rheology for sticking to small sharp corners. 984 is one of them. MicroCoat Technologies, Allen, TX makes one that works every time.

Jason: We'd like to help, but we don't know how to diagnose "bad solder quality". It's too broad of a complaint. Please be more descriptive, like: * Too much solder * Too little solder * Solder has too sharp of wetting angle
