just got the ebay syringe of solder paste...

looks ok so far but i have no idea whatsoever how anyone can apply it with
the syringe,
pressing the plunger by hand.
Impossible if you ask me.
If you press it the bead comes out much too long, you ned to pull back to
stop it.

Maybe i'm just too stupid.. i can see 2 small air enclosures in it, which
definitely
are BAD for this because they are compressible.

I see i have to make a pneumatic dispenser, i worked with such a unit
before and
it was very convenient.
I guess the syringe adapter will be using quite a bit of hot glue.
I can maybe use it on the cnc later, and i need it anyway because i'm not
using the cnc for rework
and stuff i guess..

I'll tell you if it worked out then.
