Re: [Homebrew_PCBs] Re: Clay Coated Paper (Various Grades)

2007-01-17 by Roland Harriston

I think what I would strive for would be a glossy, clay coated paper that
is not heavy stock like most inkjet papers.  Some inkjet papers a nearly
as thick as card stock.......tough  to dissolve, requiring scrubbing. 

I think I would like to have a thinner stock, something like that used for
Time magazine, catalogs, and others. The reason for going to a thinner 
stock is that
it would dissolve much faster and easier than the thicker stock used for 
inkjet paper.

So, that's why I suggested trying to get some "Time magazine"
type paper from a local printing establishment.

Unfortunately, there are no big-scale printing houses in my
immediate area.  We once had a large Alpha Graphics operation
here, but they moved out due to lack of business.

NOTE: Sorry that my photos of the local Muriatic acid sources
was filtered out.  I should have realized that they would be.
My Bad.
