Lots of detailed responses to my question about poor etch resist of
sharpie pen - thak you all!



Seems others find the Sharpie unacceptable. One response suggested I go
to an office supply store and try many demo pens on a pcb then etch them
and choose! A great idea, but not for me as I have not extra time at
the moment!



The best idea for me was to use a Staedtler waterproof marker. I do not
know if these are very fine point, but I will try to find one today in
an arts store.



Does anyone have any other pen recommendations? Am I one of the last
pen resist users - everyone else uses photoresist or other methods? I
thought there would be a standard choice all of you experienced board
people would jump in - in unison and tell me to go out and get!
