Myc--

Thanks! Guess I'm off to the grocery store tonight. ;)

Only thing I haven't liked about the Staples paper is getting the
paper residue off. This foil could be interesting.

Any tips on how you stuck it to the carrier sheet, and do they remain
together while you heat, and/or when you remove (soak??) the foil?
I'll be using the clothes iron process with an aluminum plate
attached.

-Thanks!

PS (Stefan)- I was about to post a question about the "etched through"
sections you're fighting with. Be on the lookout for it. I'm thinking
of grabbing a roll of Pulsar's TRF from DigiKey. One of my biggest
problems with the over-etching seems to be from inconsistent chemical
progress across the board, maybe due to larger masked areas dirtying
up the etchant and killing it's strength in certain spots, causing me
to over-etch the others. I had been manually agitating before, and
have just built one of those small, flat, vertical tanks. It's got two
bubblers in the bottom and a heater, so things should get a lot better
soon.
