Which balls and stencils (and other equipment) for reballing/ BGA work?
 

Hi guys!

I want to try BGA soldering, now I'm wondering, what I should buy. I have already a hot-air-station. For the balls; I want Pb alloy, can I just buy the cheapest on eBay? Or should I take care about something? (e.g. eBay1, eBay2).
Which stencils should i buy? I guess something like this would be nice to start with, but unfortunately out of stock..

What else do I need, I have flux and capton? Do I need a preheater for cellphones?
Any general tips for getting started with BGA?

Thanks!

i use bga stencils without direkt heating and its the best choise.

post here in details , if u have any video would be better to understand .

@dioda76: Do you use this stencils with paste or balls? Do you directly heat them? If not, how do you get the stencils of without losing the paste or balls?
