Subject: Re: [Homebrew_PCBs] Drilled solder paste stencils

Nice work! Looks like the template was sanded to deburr the holes. Must
be pretty tricky to keep sheet metal flat enough to keep it in contact
with the PCB. I assume you clamp them together and then scrape paste in
each hole with a putty knife of some sort?
