1. Place the PCB flat on 1/4” foam board to support it during stencil work.

2. Position the stencil on top of the PCB and align it using the tooling holes (1.0 mm hole along the top edge and along the bottom edge).

3. Insert push pins through the tooling holes to hold the stencil aligned and in place.

1. Apply solder paste across the stencil openings, then scrape off the excess so paste remains only in the pads.

1. Remove the stencil carefully, lifting straight up to avoid smearing paste.
