Were does one get good solder paste in a syringe these days? 

I found this:

%3d has anyone used this stuff?

I'm just doing some SMT re-work (without real SMT tools or experience, of
course ;) ) and I'm hoping this will help simplify the process, especially
the part where I'm holding the iron in one hand, the part down with a pair
of tweezers in the other, and holding the solder to it with my third hand
(mouth). 

I know I could make a two legged, plus a pick, weighted thingy to hold the
part down, but I'd rather have the control.

And I could solder blob the pads, then flux, place the part and solder
down... but these boards are really weak and I've already killed a couple
heating the pads twice. I'm thinking a bit of solder paste, hold the part
on, touch it quickly with the iron on each pad and done.
