Hi,

Does anyone know what happens to conductive inks and epoxy if the board goes through a reflow oven, or if someone tries soldering to the feedthrough?

Cheers,
Mark

Subject: [Homebrew_PCBs] Plating PCB thru holes

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.
