Subject: Re: [Homebrew_PCBs] Re: laser ablation of paint on copper clad

Hello...

Didn't tryed. But I don't think that is good idea. The vinil will melt vhen board is soldered. And 20mW laser isn't strong enought to cut with ussable speed.

Verry interesting, but I had one more question. Did you ever tried to cover the pcb with vinyl used by signmaking?

Wouldthe laser be able to cut ( burn ) true the vinyl. That would be awesome, then just laser the outline, etching and then laser the solder pads. Clean it all up and pcb is ready, with vinyl soldermask.
