Re: [Homebrew_PCBs] my TT technique and some pix

2004-03-18 by Stefan Trethan

I wonder if the grit is the same in your country as in mine.
i think it is some "peaks per area" reading so i guess it is different
between
metric and imperial.

Does anyone know that?

I use 600 grit for the pcb prep.
this is very fine paper, the coarsest you get is 40,
60, 80 or 100 being used for common wood sanding.

Nice results, especially the legend.
But some pads could be bigger you know....
