I have to agree that positive photo method if far easier and better
than TT. I read on here what some seem to go thru to do the TT
method to get good results. I find the positive photo method much
much easier. I guess if you don't do this much TT might be a way to
go but if you do boards very often and have a place you can setup a
exposure frame and a etching tank you can produce boards very easily
with better results. For most it seems that TT method is hit and
miss on getting a good board as can be seen in the photo of that one
post. I know that there or some on here that seem to really have
the TT method down and have good results, but I have a idea that it
took them a while to get to that point too.
