[sdiy] Press-and-peel question

[flightofharmony]

I didn't see either of these mentioned:

If you're going to use a Sharpie, get the "Industrial" marker. That's the
one that is usually repackaged and sold as a "resist" pen. Works pretty
good.

The other one is a fine-tip Sharpie paint pen, oil-based. Even better once
you get the hang of it. Use this if you use the sponge technique, any ink
pen will wipe off.

-> 
-> Dear Fellow Synth-DIYers,
-> 
-> I've just Pressed-and-Peeled my first circuit boards (a pair of custom
-> boards for a modified MFOS Sound Lab Mini Synth Plus with built-in Guitar
-> Trigger) with Techniks Blue, and a few of the traces on one board were a
-> tiny bit less than fully realized in the transfer.
-> 
-> Two quick questions:
-> 
-> 1) If I repair the traces with a garden-variety "Sharpie" indelible felt
tip
-> marker, will this seal the copper well enough during etching?
-> 
-> 2) If it doesn't work, then what's the best way to fill in the traces
after
-> etching?
-> 
-> Thanks in advance for your responses...
