I've been looking for a solder paste that doesn't have a shelf life, or at least has a really long one. Is there such a thing? I can use a toaster oven to heat it.
Are you referring to paste-type solder for working with surface mount components (like in syringe) or the paste-type soldering flux in a little round tin?

At my previous place of employment we kept the paste solder in well-sealed and well-marked containers in a refrigerator, far away from any foodstuffs. Doing that seemed to extend the shelf life a great deal. I wouldn't recommend this if you have children in the house, though.

Yeah, I heard that when you order it from digikey they only allow you to get it by overnight shipping, and they ship it in a styrofoam container packed with ice? or something like that... At least that's what it said in the "toaster reflow soldering" guide that i read :lol:
