Hi Dave,
Sorry I can't recommend a paper locally, but I have used the Pulsar
product I got via mail order. It's expensive (around a buck a sheet
I think) and it worked okay on my first two attempts. I have yet to
get Clean, solid traces yet either though. I have been working
with .015" traces and all but one has been good. Pitting (missing
spots) seems to be my problem so far, but I will continue to try.
My focus at present isn't on making it look profesional, it's just
making it look acceptable to show someone :-( So, I share your
opinions on trace size too.
Chris
