| I recently switched from solder paste in 500 gram jars to 500 gram tubes. I did this to try to limit the time the paste is exposed to the room environment. But we have a need to clean the stencil every 4 - 5 boards which means taking the bulk paste

Mark, I had the same peoblem. For my stencils i use a 15% reduction for the width of fine pitch leads only, as Earl said follow the 1:1.5 standard. We consider pitches of 32mil and under. We also clean the stencil every other board to ensure no caki
