Homebrew PCBs

Last night I tried kodak gloss for TT with an old hp5l, copper was
cleaned and polished, not very successful, it 'lifted' as the board
cooled, no doubt as the board cooled and contracted a mm or so after
the heat

Where it stuck it was stuck, and quite thick, but it also had a lot of
the papers gloss topcoat betwen tracks which had to removed carefully,
and in fine areas was near impossible.

Will try tonight with a longer press and less heat.

I dont want to use 'store brand' papers as a store will often change
sources monthly to get the best profit margin..........

I may buy some HP next if I can find it on a good offer.
