    Teresa,I've been using Hilderbrand paste solders for
    years.....they're great. 

    I had the same prob of the last of the paste hardening in the tube.I
    contacted Hilderbrand www.hilderbrand.ch and got a very helpful
    response from Walter Niederman. 

    The binder in the paste gets pressed out leaving just the solder
    which wont do the oozing out thing as its not liquid enough. 

    Hilderbrand supplied me with a small container of the binder.I
    scraped out the dried up stuff,mixed in the binder to an appropriate
    consistency,stuck it back in the tube and it works perfectly. 

Colin.
