Homebrew PCBs

Hi Dennis,
I may take you up on that offer.  I had awful results with Press and
Peel Blue today.  I did four small boards, and the solid filled areas
look like they are fogged, I guess is the best way to describe it. 
Thousands of little pits.  I tried increasing the pressure on the last
two boards to the point where the copper turned pink in a couple of
places.  I scrubbed the boards well, and pre-cleaned them with acetone.

I'm going to go down to FedEx/Kinko's tomorrow morning to see if they
have ink jet transparencies by the sheet.  Press and Peel Blue works
out to about $2 a sheet, plus shipping, and you'd better be buying
something else along with it, or that really makes it expensive.  I
guess I'll just use up my 3 remaining sheets from this pack by
printing out the board art and taking the P n P to be Xeroxed; that's
fairly reliable.

Then, hopefully, the transparancy method will work with my Brother
laser toner, and I'll be done with P nP Blue!

I'll let you know something tomorrow when I get back from Kinko's.

Thanks,
Ted
