I am uncertain about the air tight jar process, but in our military
applications the syringe is placed in a refrigerator, (in and out)
during the existing self life of 6 months.  However I have found a new
product that we are extremely happy with that does not require
refrigeration and has a one year shelf life.  If you are interested
contact me.

Subject: [TN] Leftover Solder Paste


Does any contract assembly house store leftover solder paste in airtight
jar
at room temperature for next day's use? If so, I have few questions.
(1) Does your paste manufacturer approved such process?
(2) Is the paste remain in good condition and not drying out next day?

Any comments are most welcomed. My assembly house has implemented this
process and I have a serious reservation.
