Subject: Re: THRU HOLE PLATEING

Okay did some experiments with The Toner senstive foil. My general
impression is that the toner needs to be really clean and that you
need a lot of heat and pressure by that i means I had the laminator
set to 250deg C. Just as a note I used a sheet of paper to protect
the laminator rollers from getting stuck to the Foil. I have found
that since switching to the laminator that i get far less problems
with pinholes. perhapes it is because the laminator imparts far more
pressure then I can with a clothes iron. I have also noticed that the
film makes the edges of tracks rough and jagged which is not a
particulary desirable effect. I do not surggest anybody pursues this
as it give worse results then not haveing it.
