PHil, Your Da MAN!
Well, i thought id give this TT one last try then it was over to UV
took a trip to Staples and maplin, got the "Everyday" HP Photo Paper,
its semi gloss and a cheap laminator from Maplins £29, not the one
that's on offer right now for £10.
Got home not expecting too much and quickly ran through a test board.
Not really cleaning the board or doing much prep.
The result the best TT board i have done to date! this board has
10mil tracks and 10mil spacing, the tracks are solid and the spaces
look a mile wide!!!!
The only thing i have to say about it , is that it does need quite a
soak in warm water, once soaked, ALL the paper came right off the
board no problems. The large filled areas could also be a bit darker.
But this is the closest to a perfest board i have come to.
THANKS again PHIll, you saved me from the horrid chemicals.
