Stencils aren't really needed, they're only really useful when using a reflow oven, and even then, I honestly think it's easier to hand solder for a single board than to pick and place and reflow.
- lsllc 10y agoYou can get a T962A reflow oven for a few hundred bucks, even has mods: http://www.instructables.com/id/T962A-SMD-Reflow-Oven-FixHack/ http://www.instructables.com/id/T962A-SMD-Reflow-Oven-FixHac... I have the T962A and it works really well with the mods. I generally reflow batches of 12 boards at a time (on custom manufacturing jigs). Much easier than hand-soldering and the results are near-perfect.
