Hi guys, So i got all my components and boards ready for my shuriken v3 build!
The problem i'm having is the lining up of the stencil i bought with the board itself, i've done smd work before but not with the kind of fine pitch that this has so i thought a stencil was necessary...
And when i do give it a go, my paste is smudged and horrible, and i really dont know why, especially when i though id done it correctly ://
Are there any tips you guys have for this?

How smudged is smudged? You will probably always get a little smudging.

I think it will not matter too much, since the solder mask will prevent most bridges during reflow.
