If you are making your own brass solder paste stencils then get a small 
  250g jar or so. If your applying it by hand then get a syringe. Jar is 
lot more economical kg/$. I found it easier to just hand solder ICs 
conventionally than try applying paste with a syringe. For small batches 
, nothing beats stencil solder paste printing.
