Subject: making one sided boards

From: "Dave Mucha" <dave_mucha@...>
Date: 2004-03-22

Hi all,

I have a few sheets of 90 mil FR-4, (red imprint) that is double
sided.

I need to do a lot of 1 sided boards and instead of ordering one
sided, I think I'll just etch one side of these to use the boards.

Anyway, I mechanically etch boards so I need to remove the copper in
wholesale fashion and have no chemicals to do so.

To make matters worse, the boards are 10 x 18.

What is the simplest, lowest cost method to remove one side of the
copper ?

Also, I assume something like car or floor wax might make it easy to
add to the good side as a resist, but suggestions are welcome.
