Subject: Re: [Homebrew_PCBs] How to deburr drill holes (vias) ?

From: Googlemail <trevor.white100@...>
Date: 2010-02-11

Some say using a thin sheet of 0.2mm aluminium on top of the board - an entry board, can help. I get a piece of wet and dry sand paper and go over the board before i start the plating process.
