i finally got around to using soidium silicate(water glass)on a small piece of pcb. i hardened it with co2(carbon dioxide), then etched with ferric chloride?(sp).i used a tooth pick and put some small dots,large dot and a line of water glass on the board, then hardened and etched, it came out excelant.i noticed a very small dot that i put on there, it was about .005 of an inch. NOW -if i can gat an inkjet printer to handle the water glass and a streight through feed for the pcb i will be in business. if any one has any suggestion on what printer to use i would appreceiate it.i dont know which would be best-a pezeio or heated ink head. the water glass has some water in it. JUST LOOKIN FOR SOME THOUGHTS FROM OTHERS. mebo
