Leon,

You are comparing apples and bananas. He said in his original
message he was using Radio shack solder paste. This is identical to
the plumbers paste for use on copper pipes, I have both, It is not
the refined version for smt pcb's and has none of the
characateristics.

The plumber's paste is designed to be reflowed with a propane torch.

The only apparent advantage for the plumber pastes is that it is
very cheap.

I wouldn't even have bothered trying the stuff, it's obvious it would be a
waste of time!

Leon
