I won't say never but very rarely do we have problems with the flux seperating. The way we get around the 1-2 hour warmup time is this: The day before we run a particular job, the last person takes out the paste needed from the fridge as the last t

Certain paste mfg specify 6 hours paste thawing time to normalize the temperature. I am using solder paste softerner to spin the paste taken out from fridge for 9 minutes and measure the paste temperature in jar.It is around 26'c(same as the ambient

There are plenty of paste chemistries now that can be stored at room temp for far longer than 2 weeks. You should not return a paste to the fridge once it has been opened. If a tub of paste came out of the fridge mistakenly I see no reason to why it

Hi Steve Thanks for your reply. Your comments make it sound like it may be the nature of this paste. Any one else agree? Paste control is fairly good. Paste is put in fridge straight after it arrives at inwards goods, (4deg). Removed from fridge

You should get your paste in ice(dry ice). Then you should keep it in a fridge. Many pastes now have 1month shelf life(after you take it out of the fridge). If you follow all the above, you might be having: 1. Lot problem - try different lots of you
