I have used his product often, with good results.  As DJ points out,
they're thinner than some stainless stencils, but for the fine pitch
parts I work with, that's actually a feature and not a bug, as I have
more trouble with too much paste than too little.  It feels like I'm
pushing the limits of his dimensional accuracy/stability sometimes,
though, particularly on the couple boards I've built with an axis
approaching 6 inches and lots of fine pitch parts.
