Homebrew PCBs

I'm very glad to hear it finally worked.
I had some disencouraging results in the beginning too.

I really think you will soon get rid of the problems you have now, I have 
only done a few boards with this method but the learning curve
is very steep from the point of first useable results.

I am now confident that i can have a 10 mil boards in a few minutes with 
prectically
no preparation.

I'm just downloading your image from the files section.
Isn't it a bit big?

i have saved it as jpeg and uploaded to your folder
it has only 100kbyte not 3mbyte as yours.

Please delete the tiff image, the jpeg has no data loss and safes LOADS of 
space.
