Subject: etch resist-it works so far

From: "pebo festus" <mebo31@...>

i finally got around to using soidium silicate(water glass)on a small
piece of pcb. i hardened it with co2(carbon dioxide), then etched
with ferric chloride?(sp).i used a tooth pick and put some small
dots,large dot and a line of water glass on the board, then hardened
and etched, it came out excelant.i noticed a very small dot that i
put on there, it was about .005 of an inch. NOW -if i can gat an
inkjet printer to handle the water glass and a streight through feed
for the pcb i will be in business.
if any one has any suggestion on what printer to use i would
appreceiate it.i dont know which would be best-a pezeio or heated ink
head. the water glass has some water in it. JUST LOOKIN FOR SOME
THOUGHTS FROM OTHERS.
