Homebrew PCBs

Hmm, that's not a bad idea.  I know I want something that will not bond or
interact with the engine block paint, so that rules out anything with
petroleum.  I had thought of vaseline, but I'm pretty sure petroleum-based
products would have a 'paint thinner' effect around the lands, basically
screwing up the surrounding paint.

I tried hair gel from the corner dollar store.  I had high hopes for this
material 'cause it was super cheap, non-toxic and water-based.  Only problem
was that it was too soft, it didn't make a nice dome over the land, some of
the lands totally closed over.

Toothpaste has a thicker consistency, that might be just right.  I was
looking for an excuse to etch another PCB tomorrow, this is just what I
needed.  I'm also going to take the opportunity to pick up some of the
Staples glossy paper for laser printers and give that product a test run.
