    Solder paste questions ?

    Dear Members,

    I have a SMD solder paste and it's getting harder,
    what should I do to make it softer ？

    Any liquid that I can mix with ?

    Thanks

      i think the base is rosin and IPA, so a drop - and only a drop, of IPA maybe.

              pure ipa should soften the flux, that's what it is - flux with ground up solder in it.

                  Solder paste recommendations please
                  by dicky96
                  Hi guys. Well I thought solder paste was just solder paste but apparently not

                  I watched this short video

                  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uSb1fgCMUug

                  I want to try solder paste for resoldering BGA chips and LGA sockets as I am having no luck at the moment. I have no problem safely removing the old part, it's getting the replacement one to solder which is where I am going wrong. The Type 5 solder paste link he gives in the above video says it is not available.

                  I want to use the paste like in the video on this thread

                  Question about solder paste vs solder balls
                  by menshawy
                  hi friends
                  what about using solder paste to reflow vram because it is easier than solder balls
                  but it will working perfectly or it will die after short time ?
                  I need your experience
                  thanks

                  Laptop overheating after replacement thermal paste
                  by Veyron7887
                  Hi. I have Asus X55C laptop from year 2013. It has i3-2328M CPU. I replaced stock thermal paste with high quality thermal paste. Before thermal paste replacement, I measured CPU temperature Around 65-70 degrees Celcius with stock thermal paste. If after the replace thermal paste, I measured CPU temperature around 80-84 degrees Celcius and fan don't stop when system is idle. I replaced the thermal paste several times but still did not change. Where is the problem?

                  UV solder mask - high temp resistent, recomendation?
                  by myth77
                  Can someone recommend any good UV solder mask? But i need a solder mask that will stand high temperetures. The thing is...sometimes i have a bigger cooper ripped from the board, lets say mosfet pad... i reconstract it with cooper sheet, then i "glue it" with solder mask...then i use UV light...and let it cool a bit. After, i try to clean the cooper of extra solder mask..and till that part all is ok. But, when i use a soldering iron to solder that pad/cooper...the solder mask gets weaker or destroyed and finally the pad is ripped again from the board .
                  Is there any solder mask...

                  Can thermal paste cause corrosion?
                  by caspian
                  Dear members,

                  I have got an ordinary gray thermal paste that has no name/model on the box.
                  I put some of this thermal paste on a 128-pin QFP IC. A bit of this thermal paste was put on pins of the IC.
                  I tried to clean the pins by thinner but the thermal paste cannot be cleaned from the pins properly. because the pins are tiny and the thermal paste is stuck between them.
                  Is it possible that the thermal paste damages pins of the IC in long term by creating corrosion or something?
                  Is it safe to leave the thermal paste on the pins?
                  I guess the thermal paste...
