Re: Solder Paste - which to choose...?

,I sounds like I should be looking at 63/37 paste with lead. Until I get more adept at SMT components, solder bridges are to be avoided.

I'll take a look at chipquick Bi58 at Digikey.com when I get the chance; sounds like a good option.

In looking at the specs for some of the pastes, I noticed that there is an inhalation warning. How do you avoid exposure to the fumes?  Are there other hazards to consider?

I appreciate your input on the hot air rework station and LED headlight, I am trying to decide on which items to order.

Thanks.
