Homebrew PCBs

If you need only small sizes of boards you may hot tin them.

I don't like those "you certainly die within a year if you only look at 
this stuff" safety datasheets.

I would rather have uncoated copper, if you protect it with laquer i see no 
disadvantage.


What about electroplating? i mean making negative photoresist and then 
electroplating.
after that remove the resist and etch. Wouldn't this allow for less 
dangerous chemicals
than electroless plating?
