Yeah Grant, what Earl and everybody is telling you is fine. However, are ya'
getting a "squeeze-ball" or "solder-bead" on the sides of the 1206's? If
you're in a cleaning environment it's no big deal...they should wash off. But
should you ever go no-clean, that could be a problem.

You'll need to order new stencils unless you create the kind of apertures now
on on your stencils that gets rid of them. Other than that, there's no
problems just as Earl and everybody has said...
