Plating PCB thru holes

2014-04-12 by Cecil Bayona

This subject has been discussed before but I'm wondering if anyone 
has tried this method before. I looks pretty simple to do and uses 
readily available material. I would imagine that to make even more 
reliable after this process is complete, you tin the board adding 
extra metal in the holes.

I was thinking of doing something similar with silver ink, but the 
material to repair auto glass heaters might be cheaper

There is a lot of useful information on that web site, but it takes 
effort as some of the information is hard to find.

Never take life seriously. Nobody gets out alive anyway.
