OK, thanks, at least I know I'm not too crazy to try this:-)  and I'm
only going to do single sided.

Were you using the pnp blue at larger sizes, normal size I've used was
8.5 by 11 inches and I would have to do some clever sectioning of the
circuit. Also were you using an iron or did you have some kind of heat
or laminating press?
