Hi All. I'm working on a surface mount project with a lot of tiny, 0603 components, and the solder paste I'm using is utter crap (for this purpose, at least). It comes out of the syringe with the consistency of cement, doesn't "stick" to pads, and I basically have to push it around with a pair of tweezers and a sewing needle. Does my paste have too much / not enough flux? Is the chemical composition wrong for this application? Can anyone recommend a better brand or type of solder paste (in a syringe. I don't need a tub of the stuff)?
Here's the paste I'm using, and it's really not working for me. http://search.digikey.com/scripts/DkSea ... MD291AX-ND.
