Homebrew PCBs

Magazine paper transfers heat better and is easier to soak off.  And a 
lifetime supply is as near as your mail box.  I'm using a B&B 
electronics catalog.

I bought a GBC Personal laminator from MyBinding.com for $25 delivered.  
I may never iron again.  The advantage is consistency, of temperature 
and pressure.  Once you get it working to your satisfaction, all boards 
come out the same.

Yes, scotchbrite is not my first choice.  I like 3M 000 synthetic steel 
wool, but scotchbrite and a little Bon Ami and elbow grease works fine, too.
