JohnM, I have done .5 mm also with no trouble. It amazes me that it
can work so well - seems so crude but works so well! I appreciate
the helpful tips too about the air bubbles. If you look at my most
recent project at
http://kenny.trussell.biz/pcboards/, you will see
I had problems with coverage and touched up with a Sharpie pen.
I have not done double-sided yet. I do have a question for someone
about the "pouch". When you slide the board in, how do you assure
that both sides of the pouch are still equally positioned? If the
paper curvature is different for one side than the other where edge
of the board meets the bound side of the pouch, wouldn't you get an
ofset? (not sure I explained that well) For single sided boards, I
trim my transparency or paper (whichever I am using) to just the
outline of the board. Do you keep it a lot larger? Help from all
appreciated.
I am working on three related board layouts now. At least one could
be double-sided.
