i etched the pcb with marks i put on it with FUTURE,worked
great,also the mixture with the glycol worked great, but didnt put
much glycol in the mix. buuuut as some one had posted-it has to go
through the printer onto the board then etch to get REAL results.
i think you may be onto something steve-- putting sone of the
printers own ink into the mixture. looking at the MSDS on printer
inks , it has some alcohol in it. whitch i think would have a
thinning effect. which may be ok. i think i will try some glycol
consentrate that i have cooked down from camp trailer antifreeze.
will start out with a small amount in the FUTURE POLISH, then
increase it untill it get to a point it does not dry very fast.
i am doing all of this untill the new carts arrive.
