Assembling the rear of the PCB - Waiting for board to cool

Almost done with the board assembly, one more terminal (J5) to go. My Chip Quik solder paste from Aug 2014 is still viable, though some of its properties seem diminished. Takes a lot of work to get the contacts connected to the ground plane up to temperature, although that may have less to do with old solder paste and more my design.
