Homebrew PCBs

At first I was trying to hold the iron in place for 5
minutes. I would only get partial transfers. My PCB is
1X3 inches. The bottom of my iron has a large enough
area with out hols to cover it. After several days of
only getting partial transfers I was ready to go back
to photography. I have been doing boards
photographicly for over 40 years. This was my first
experiance with Toner Transfer even though I bought
the TT paper about 10 years ago.

I decieded to try one more time. But this time I
ironed the TT sheet with the tip of the iron for the
full 5 minutes. By the time I was done the paper was
very dark. Almost black. I put the PCB in the water
and let it soak. The first 2 times I had to touch the
edge of the paper before it floated free. On the 3rd
one the paper floated free by itself. All three of
these tries gave me good results. Not as good as I
have done photographicly, but good enough for putting
together a prototype device.

The instructions on the Pulsar website leave a lot to
be desired!
