Subject: Plating PCB thru holes

From: Cecil Bayona <cbayona@...>

This subject has been discussed before but I'm wondering if anyone
has tried this method before. I looks pretty simple to do and uses
readily available material. I would imagine that to make even more
reliable after this process is complete, you tin the board adding
extra metal in the holes.

I was thinking of doing something similar with silver ink, but the
material to repair auto glass heaters might be cheaper

There is a lot of useful information on that web site, but it takes
effort as some of the information is hard to find.
