I've never done any surface mount soldering, but I've got my first board on the way. Assuming it works and I want to make several of these, I'm wondering if a stencil is worth it. Each board only has 40 pads, and the components are just 0603s and a SOIC.
Would you splurge for a stencil, or just use a solder paste syringe? I'd be making around 100 boards, if everything works.
Thanks.
