Subject: RE: [Homebrew_PCBs] PCB Holder construction and materials

Why not use PVC? It comes in all shapes and sizes (pvc pipe, sheet, solid
rods, etc...), and it can be connected in various ways (glued, welded, and
screwed using compatible material. PVC screws can be found and used).

Subject: [Homebrew_PCBs] PCB Holder construction and materials

Well, if stainless is no good in HCl,
which Materials would be good for constructing
a PCB holder for a vertical etch tank?


I think carbon reinforced tubes are very strong. (from rc model supply)
Does the HCl attack the carbon fibers? I think it should not be
a problem with epoxy resin (as pcbs are also this material).


How to construct a holder?
It should allow for etching on both sides and the full surface (no clamps
or such stuff)


Any hints appreciated.

thanks

Stefan
