Where can I get solder paste? Pref. locally?

I'm in Northern California (Chico, about 100 mi north of Sacramento). I'm starting my RepRap saga with the MB, and it'll be my first time doing surface-mount work.

Where can I find the right solder paste? Can I get it locally? Or do I have to order it? If I have to order it, can someone point me to the right stuff? (There seem to be a lot of different types, including stuff obviously meant for jewelry rather than electronics.)

In IRC I got some advice. I ended up buying from digikey.

For future reference, this is what I purchased.

I have yet to find a place that sells Solder Paste in a Brick and Mortar store. I'm sure they exist, but I don't know who they are. We've ordered our solder paste from Zephyr. They offer reasonable quantities for a decent price. Don't forget to pickup a syringe tip to use.

Zephyr Solder Paste

Frys electronics in sacramento most likely has it, not sure if that "local" to you though. My frys here in tempe, az carries it.

Thanks for the heads-up on Fry's. From the online catalog, it looks like they only carry the Al paste, but I'll check it next time I drop in there. I haven't been there in years.

Just search on EBay for Solder paste I bought 3 150ml syringes of it on eBay its in my fridge as it recommends fridge storage to maintain its shelf life.

You don't need very much of it I'm hoping it will last a lot longer than its use by date in the fridge.

Any electronics R&D distributor like Farnell or RS stock full price Solder paste as well both on next day delivery.
