Again, as soon as I'm ready (my wife aparently had some different
plans for this weekend so I'm not sure if I can finish it this
weekend) I will post a link with some photos and more information. It
is quite some work to build such a station, and while the chemicals
were not cheap, I'm still very sure that in the mid to longer run this
is the cheapest way to get multilayer PCB's. The main advantage
however is independancy and the possibility to have a four layer PCB
completed within say 2 - 3 hours. I'm really sick of waiting for PCB's
made by others. So again, I will be happy to share my experience as
soon as I'm there - and :-) no worries, I'm fully aware of what's
needed for the plating through process.
