[sdiy] SMT Stencils

[Tim Ressel]

It depends on the materials. Kapton is only good for a few squeegeeings 
(?) before it dies, but stainless steel should last a long time. Keep in 
mind this would be a stencil and not a silk screen, so there  would be 
no support in open area to keep the squeegee from contacting the work in 
wider open areas of the stencil. It is so cheap though, as you say, why 
not give it a try?
