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

Assuming you meant 38 percent humidity - I would have to say your environment is only part of the problem. When you experience this problem, is because the paste has set idle for a period of time? If you knead the paste does the fine pitch print OK

Do you have some experience with solder paste WS1208. What is the "best" conditions for printing process? I mean type of stencil, apertures, squeegee. Do you have original data sheet of this solder paste? - life time, working time on the stencil, sh

Russ, Thanks.By the way, i already look into the reflow profile & paste storage & thowing requirement. Even i cut down the stencil life to 4 hr to avoid any moisture absorbtion. If i were to change the paste formulation, what would you propose ? But

Are you reusing your paste or putting down new every time? I've seen solder balls before when operators try to use the paste past the recomended stencil life. I've also seen it happen with a bad batch of solder paste from a vendor.

Loctite's new GC 10 paste allows for some pretty extended print cycles. I was skeptical, but the stuff doesn't seem to ever dry out. I've had overnight print to place cycles work at room temperature, and they spec a stencil life of three days. Might

Most solder paste has a shelf life of 1 week at room temperature after opened, if resealed at the end of the shift/day. Most shelf lives are 4-6 months at 40F (refridgerated) or 1 month at room temp (unopened/sealed). Recommended stencil life is appr
