[sdiy] tinning home etched boards?

[Vesa Lahteenmaki]

After polishing the tracks with wire wool, you need to wipe them with flux prior the tinning. 
The resin flux in solder isn't good enough for bare copper tracks, get a flux pen or liquid flux in a bottle.
After tinning the tracks, clean the pcb with acetone once again before soldering the components.
