Subject: Making double sided boards ... how about with two single sided boards and GLUE

From: "samIam" <asa386@...>

Good day all.

Heres a question I am certain has been asked a lot:
What is the best way to make a double sided board.

First some background
I am a newbie who just completed his first single sided board using
the
Toner Transfer method and etching chemicals/drill.

But that was JUST a practice board. My project is designed for two
layers (component and solder).

I was thinking that I could
1) use a double sided copper PCB and try and align the holes
or
2) use a TWO single sided PCB's ... transfer,etch and drill
then glue the two together before soldering and filing in vias

I am leaning towards the latter because it appears it will produce
the best board ... although it may take time ... drilling so many
holes.

Any ideas
especially from personal experiences.

Thanks in advance
