[Homebrew_PCBs] plumbing paste not for SMD reflow

2005-11-22 by Stefan Trethan

I tried the paste for SMD out of curiosity, and found it is no good.
It will "melt" before reflow (the flux i think). The paste will flow all  
over the place, resulting in too little paste at the pad when finally  
reflowing. also the flux might be a problem later on.

Real SMD paste will stay a paste all the way.
