This is according to Kester What happens if the paste gets too cold? At temperatures below -15oC (5oF), one or more components of the solder paste may crystallize, producing a non-homogeneous appearance to the solder paste. Such non-homogeneity may

Hi, What's really interesting about your photos is there is solder paste on top of the component. If it was blowing the solder off the board you would see solder paste splatter away from the component. But the solder paste is on top of the compon

Check out the web sites of the major solder manufacturers. From a quick glance most of the pastes around that temperature range have problems with Zn content and may not be available as pastes???? Depending on your application, some of the lower melt

It could be you are drying out your solder paste. Most flux formulations are alcohol based and after a few hours can dry out. This can can lead to dewetting and solder balling as well. Especially if you do not homeplate your R's and C's. A simple
