Archive of the former Yahoo!Groups mailing list: Homebrew PCBs

Hi all,
just need trawlling through the old posts and stumbled across this old
thread. I have been thinking a bit about how to heat the PCB to
tranfer the toner and one idea that struck me was to make use of an
induction hotplate.

I figure that the induction hotplate on a low setting would heat the
copper on the PCB and all that would be required to transfer the toner
was a even pressure on onto the paper/toner.

The heat would be localised to the copper only. I guess it would only
be useful for smaller PCBs. Unfortunatly I lack the resources, i.e
induction hot plate, to try this approach.

Comments??

Cheers
David
