You need a matchstick and very tiny amounts of the stuff and leave it for one hour to dry.
OMG I wished I knew this existed years ago. I have burnt and ruined the pads on the Xbox so many times. This stuff is cheap at $6.99 and the amount you need is minimal. You could buy those applicators for thermal paste and sell them on to TSOP modders.
Messy stuff though.

I'm glad to know that a) I'm not the only one that has burned the solder pads doing this TSOP mod and b) that the soldering "ink" actually works. I have a second XBOX that I'd like to perform the mod on and I think I will give this solder ink a try. For $7 it seems like it can't hurt...

I wonder if that could be used to repair a broken ribbon cable on a virtual boy. One of mine tore on me when I tried to solder it to the pcb.... I really wish somebody sold replacement cables.
pbj:
Graphite mixed with Elmer’s will also work.

I got some to!
Not tried it out yet but I have another friends xbox en route to me so maybe get some use in then :)
Thermal paste syringe may work, But a needle or somthing seems to be the best way to control the application heh.

My XOSVP arrived today, And I am really impressed.
The difference in quality is night and day.
These are all 420p shots as I dont have any of the 720p games but I will hunt one down to try.
Soul Caliber 2 probably :p
