Solder Paste Stenciling is the easiest and quickest way to solder some of the trickier SMD components. Here at SparkFun, we use solder paste stenciling on pretty much all of our boards. It saves us a lot of time. But stenciling takes more than just a stencil and a dream... you're going to need some paste.
So here's 30-grams of solder paste! We wanted to get 50-gram containers but these are closer to 30 so this is just almost just the right amount of paste for most hobby projects and it even comes in a small reusable container. It does contain some lead, so you wouldn't want to use it in production, but it's just fine for hobby-use or prototyping.
Note: These tubs are labeled as 50g but lately we've measured closer to 30g of solder paste in each container.
