Homebrew PCBs

Hi Rick
That's what I been doing in the past , Only difference is I wrap the solder braid round the tip which gives you one hand free.
 Was hoping to get away from that because apart from the fumes and chance of s/c to the track, the heat is a bit aggressive for the laminate.
Regards

Hi
Do any of you people here know of a quick and cheap way to tin copper PCB
tracks before populating the board?
With all the modern chemicals around these days theirs bound to something
out there In the past have used the manufactured stuff which you just put in
a bath for a while and job done but its to expensive.

Thanks in advance

Dave
