it works!!!!

i made a deep plastic box for fuming with super glue
{like finger prints}
and it worked the print went black and hard

i used a solder iron for fast fume creation
added a 1n5407 in series with a switch to short over it
with the live in the plug
to half the total heat of the iron {25w}
to ~12watts

two drips of super glue5 {loctite}
on its end {i added a little cup to the iron}

and set the pcb in the fume area the iron will produce
using a wire stand {1mm ecw}

so much for the doubting toms

go give it a try with mispro prints see if its better
for fine lines

anyway ill etch it after dinner
and post all photos in my yahoo site then,,,, {8pm gmt or so}

on initial inspection even thin broken tracking seems hard

as it appears the resins in the inks
{basicaly the polymer its made from}

goes black as expected


it may turn out pigment {plastic} inks are better
