Epoxy resin in the fiberglass or an epoxy adhesive ?


I just posted another message that the copper would not stick well
using the resin as the adhesive. I did infact try it twice one time by
blasting and once as you mentioned, but not in the terms as an
oxidzer, but more or less to roughen the surface. I thought that maybe
I was somehow contaminating the surface by the abrasive blast.

BTW I checked.. the resing in my fiberglass kit is a polyester, not
epoxy. Do you think the epoxy resin would make much differance ?

As far as the resolution goes.. it dependes on how steady you are at
getting it from the printer to the kitchen to apply the powder ;)

I also found the sifting the powder through and old bandanna doesnt
disturb the ink as much and gives a much finer line.. But all in all I
say it is no better or worse than any toner transfer method I have tried
