Re: Need a fine pitch stencil? Here's a method to create your own homebrew high resolution fine pitch stencil!

2008-01-17 by Brian

Never thought of this. Cool idea. You said to use thin foil, when you 
apply the paste do you have a problem with the foil between the pads 
breaking? and if so does it matter since when it reflows it sucks up to 
the pads? Also, using thin foil, is there any problem with having 
enough solder to make a reliable solder joint? Do you have a picture of 
the final board?
