Homebrew PCBs

I haven't done my experiment yet...as to the heat involved,
non-resin-coated paper is ususually dried on a heated platen to
produce a glossy photo; that is, if you have a print drier, which I
don't; so no glossies.

The RC stuff is glossy by itself, and needs no such drying process.

But, the point I've taken from this is "Am I going to gum up my laser
printer if I try this thing?"  This Brother 2040 laserjet apparently
uses considerably higher temperatures than my old HP, again relying on
the info provided to me by the makers of Press N Peel Blue.  

What I will do first is apply an iron to printable side of the paper,
and see if I screw up a $15 iron rather than a $120 laser printer
(even though I wouldn't be exactly devastated if "Brother" met some
gruesome untimely death).

Cheers,
Ted
