    Why not eliminate all the hassle of cutting sheet solder and go to
    paste solder?  You simply squeeze out the solder from a preloaded
    syringe where you want to apply the solder. Note that paste solder
    is also available in jars.  If you elect to use the jar approach,
    you can use a toothpick for application, or any other approach which
    will put the exact amount on the spot in question.  No need to worry
    about flux as it is already in the paste. The paste approach will
    eliminate cutting, fluxing and also having the pallions fly all over
    the place.  As with sheet solder, you cannot tell the formula by
    looking, so be sure to mark the paste if you are taking it out of
    its original container.
