I have never tried this and wouldn�t really even want to consider it. Epoxy generally cures at around 160c in a fairly short amount of time, solder paste requires much more time and a peek temperature of about 210c or more in some cases. Curing you

Jeff In my experiance the main problem is the flux content of the paste (up to 50%). throwing it in the wave pot results in a big stickey ring around the pot, a lot of smoke and, as Brian says, a lot of dross. A fire is not that unlikely! I tried

Has anyone seen/used these yet? They seem to have lower coefficient of friction for release of paste and less wear and tear as well as conforming to the board better (plastic has better memory than stainless). Also there is no mesh so a larger image
