Paste sticking to metal blades | 27 October, 2006

I have an AP25 HiE, first time using metal blades. I have found that the paste is not releasing from the metal blades whether it is fresh or old. It is intermittent at times. Any suggestions?

do not dispense too much solder paste in the stencil. Keep paste about haft of the blade hieght.I think it will help.

We also use the Permalex blades with good success. We try to keep around a 5/8" bead on the stencil to help with release.

Is it possible something is wrong with your solder paste?
