Re: Resist ink pens

2010-04-28 by rlspell2000

Very poor luck with the sharpie pens, they "sort of" work, even the special red ones only "sort of work". They come off in the tank. (bubbling HCl/H2O2)

Best I have found is nail polish...

Even better is the toner, so most times it easier to reprint and re-transfer the board than to fix a bad one.
