Re: Kinsten TAIWAN thru hole .. Any One USED/Experienced this

2010-08-10 by fredbutz

Looks like some sort of electroless flash copper plating with a tin plating afterwards.

I've been using the Think and Tinker method with huge success.

its very simple and much less involved then the video.

I use the Think and Tinker conductive ink.  For the plating solution I use the Caswell Plating solution.

I just purchase the chemicals and do it with a standard 10 amp power supply.

I'm finishing up my own you tube videos shortly.
