Subject: [Homebrew_PCBs] solder paste stencils

From: Mark Lerman <mlerman@...>
Date: 2009-01-16

I'm working with some QFN leadless components and I want to make
solder paste stencils to apply solder paste before putting them in my
toaster oven reflow solderer. I want to just drill holes in some very
thin (.008) laminate and align it with 000 screws, then smear solder
paste over it with a flat blade. Does anyone have any guidelines for
volume of solder paste for various size ic contacts? Thanks for any
links or advice!
