I have a 35g tube of kester r276 paste that I'm using as well as the correct plunger, stopper, and needle for it. Its nearly impossible to squeeze the solder paste through the needle with the plunger! First of all, the plunger creates a perfect seal and doesn't go all the way down to the paste, it creates a compressed air pocket that pushes on the paste. This makes it really hard to be accurate and consistent. Also when I stop applying pressure to the plunger, paste continues to come out of the needle because of the aformentioned compressed air pocket.
The biggest problem, like I said, is that its nearly impossible to get the paste to come out in the first place... It wreaks havoc on my palm and fingers!
What would be the best way of dispensing the solder paste?
