Zeph solder paste "accessories" (or other suppliers)

[blake_l]

I know I've seen Zeph metioned in a number of threads, and I'm tired of screwing up my SMD boards with regular solder - I'm ready to bite the bullet.

For anyone who has ordered solder paste from Zeph... what exactly am I getting when I purchase paste from them? They sell plungers and tips separately - does the tube come with anything? If not, any recommendation on tip size?

Alternatively, if there's a different / better / cheaper supplier of solder paste, I'm all ears...

If you are planning to build quite a few widgets then get the fancy ("Power") plunger - your hand will be very grateful. As I recall you do not get any plunger with it by default but it's been a couple years since I've purchased from them. You also need the dispensing tip(s) - don't get the smallest - pick something in-between as it's that much harder to push the paste out. i don't remember which size I used - it was the green needle one I think (they are color coded).

So - get paste, tip(s) and plunger.
