Homebrew PCBs

I prefer Press'n'Peel to the Pulsar product but the Pulsar TT
paper is good for silkscreens.  I don't normally do it but
sometimes customers request it.  The black toner shows up
reasonably well on copper and lighter substrates.  I clear
coat it with spray clear enamel, otherwise it's somewhat
fragile to handle.  And, you have to be very careful not to
get flux remover on it, or it's gone/blurred in a flash.  It
can look very professional though, since you can put text
and graphics on the board.  I try to do as much of that in
copper as I can (in copper pour or blank space) so that a
silkscreen becomes less necessary for assembly/operation.
