Never thought of this. Cool idea. You said to use thin foil, when you
apply the paste do you have a problem with the foil between the pads
breaking? and if so does it matter since when it reflows it sucks up to
the pads? Also, using thin foil, is there any problem with having
enough solder to make a reliable solder joint? Do you have a picture of
the final board?
