I actually aleady made those pictures and put them in the same place as  
before. they all have the same date code to search more easily  
<http://dipcb.schtuff.com/>.

But i want for several days to make more, namely of the PCB holding  
mechanism i constructed that no longer needs tape.
Note that i have replaced the hotplate in the pictures with a clothes iron  
by now, but the thermostat is also not ideal, i plan to get a oven monday  
and equip it with a electronic thermostat.

Also got some propylene glycol, will try what it does. It's dirt cheap so  
let's hope it does something positive ;-)

James, i did not have time yet to check out the wiki functions of your  
page, although i did read some other interesting articles. I will do so  
later on, it's great if it is a wiki, although i'm still not convinced it  
is right to collect loads of ideas, trials, possibly nonsense, on your  
webpage so i do not know if we should use it for what really is more or  
less just note taking. It's definitely great though for keeping an up to  
date version of instructions.
