Subject: solder paste and reflowing

From: "rlspell2000" <rls@...>

I just tried hot-air rework soldering with paste last night, and I will never solder production boards by hand again!

A question. Can I stencil the paste on, place the parts, then let the paste harden?

I.E, do I need to reflow while the paste is still soft, or can I wait overnight (or a week, or whatever) or something?
