[sdiy] More about making your own PCbs

[s]

Hey- I forgot to mention, when I recommended the paper
earlier for making PCBs at home...

I've discovered pretty much the perfect "touch up" pen
for etching PCBs- it's a super-fine point paint
marker. The brand I'm using is Edding- I bought them
in germany, but I've seen them in the US as well. This
paint marker has a plastic tip, not the fibrous tip
that most paint markers have. Color doesn't seem to
matter- I've used yellow, white, blue, & green in my
testing. It holds up _MUCH_ better than a sharpie or
standard etch resist marker, from what I can tell, and
it wipes off nicely with turpentine (which I use to
remove the toner.) 

I've even used them to draw simple boards and they
came out fine.

Had to share-
