I reflow around 50 PCBs each week and have tried lots of of different pastes, ranging from the variety of Chinese pastes, to Kester's excellent EP256. This is my favorite so far, here's why:

-Plunger pressure is minimal, and it is easy to reseal the container. You can tell that MG Chemicals put some thought into the syringe design, eliminating the rubber seal and significantly reducing the pressure required to dispense the paste. My thumb gets very sore after pasting a lot of boards with EP256, but with this paste it is a breeze.

-The paste flows easily onto the board while maintaining a good tack to hold your parts in place during reflow. A lot of the Chinese pastes are easy to dispense, but they aren't tacky enough to hold the smaller parts in place during reflow. Kester EP256 is tacky enough, but is difficult to place on the boards when the temperature dips down below 70F. Once you warm up the boards and the paste a bit, the EP256 isn't too bad, but this paste is much easier to place.

The only downside is the smell. The solvent used is quite pungent, so if you're sensitive to strong chemical smells, I would stay away from this paste and instead go with the Kester EP256, which does not have a strong chemical smell and actually smells quite sweet when reflowing; however, I suspect that it is this pungent cocktail that makes this paste easier to use under non-ideal conditions.

BOTTOM LINE:
If you work in non-ideal conditions (temperature, fresh tube of solder paste, etc.), and can handle the strong smell, this is the best paste out there.

You will read a lot on the internet about how this stuff must be refrigerated, only has a limited shelf life, etc. This has not been my experience at all. I have left this out on my desk for weeks, using it intermittently, and never had any problems. Based on this, and also my lack of a proper reflow oven, I have concluded that solder paste is much more forgiving than many would have you believe.

When I first bought this I had a lot of trouble applying it to the very small circuits I was designing. Apparently you are supposed to buy special applicators, but it was my first time using solder paste and I had no idea. This led me to invent a very unconventional but surprisingly effective solution: fastening a spare 3D printing nozzle with tape to the end of the syringe and using it to apply tiny dots of paste just where I needed. Using this method I have soldered components as small as 0402 with ease.

As for baking the circuits, you really don't need to worry about temperature profiles and precision if you are just doing this as a hobby. I simply put solder where I need it, place the parts making sure they are well aligned, and throw it in the toaster oven on the "Broil" setting until all the solder has melted and is shiny. I have made several circuits this way and never had any problems.

To summarize, if you are thinking about getting in to reflow soldering, GO FOR IT! It's hard to get it wrong, and it's so much faster/funner/easier than doing everything by hand. I can't even imagine going back to through hole at this point.

Solder paste works great. For the 0603 components I was working on, the provided tip was a bit small, so I applied it by hand with a dental pick.
However, this is only "No Clean" solder paste if you heat the whole board up to melt everything. If you're just hitting the pads with an iron, you'll have some sticky residue that comes off rather slowly.
This is far better than trying to use normal solder for the little pieces...

I was hesitant to get started in the world of SMD electronics but at the price, this was an easy way to see if I could do it. With a regular heat gun and this solder paste, my first SMD project took 5 minutes to complete! I had tried using a soldering iron initially, what a nightmare that turned out to be... I destroyed almost of the parts on my LED driver. This stuff made it super simple... and kinda fun to watch, too.

Best Solder Paste I have ever used!! I use this for all my SMD SMT soldering. This stuff is perfect. Easy to dispense.. I did smash the tip just a tad to create a better nozzle shape for applying it. I let it warm up from the fridge about 10-30 mins before use and it's great stuff. Very minimal minty smell when heating, NOT super harsh and chemical smelling.. Love this stuff MG seems to make the top notch stuff!!

I'm by no means professional, so I don't know much about this kind of stuff, but I had an iPod touch ribbon cable that was like 25 or so pins. There was no way I'd be able to solder those tiny pins with my big shaky hands. I eventually found out about solder paste, and man this stuff works miracles! Applied a gentle amount of paste, heat up with a heat gun and watch it turn from gray paste to liquid solder, practically attaching itself to the solder pins like a magnet. Very easy to use. Just research and make sure it will be a good fit for your application.

Excellent product, flows nicely and melts with little or no residual issues. The initial needle is a little large for small work, but working in labs with access to smaller gauge needles makes this not much of an issue.
