Try doing a whole board. I've never got all the pads or tracks to
stick, and i even made special heated press from 5/8" aluminium slabs
to get even pressure and temperature control. The other problem is
that the pressure can cause tracks to be flattened which makes them
spread wider causing ragged edges and shorts.
