Well,
I had a few minutes so I went out to the shop to transfer the
artwork to the circuit boards. First one came out REALLY good
except for two little spots that were easy to repair with a marker.
The second board started out looking great, but by the time the
paper came off, it was a mess.
I think I know what I was doing wrong the last few times. Based on
a lot of the posting here, I figured the "pressing" time at around
90 seconds or so. But with the pulsar paper, that is too long. Re-
reading their instructions, they say about 10 to 20 seconds which is
what i did today. Much better looking transfer, but poor adhesion.
Then as luck would have it I am out of acetone. So, my next attempt
will be to try a slightly higher temp and a few seconds longer.
Will post results tomorrow if I have time to do it.
Chris
