Homebrew PCBs

Why don't you buy the Etch resist ink pens from Digikey?
They have two that have 1/32" and 1/64" lines. Prices are less than $5.00 each.

    Lots of detailed responses to my question about poor etch resist of
    sharpie pen - thak you all!



    Seems others find the Sharpie unacceptable.  One response suggested I go
    to an office supply store and try many demo pens on a pcb then etch them
    and choose!  A great idea, but not for me as I have not extra time at
    the moment!  



    The best idea for me was to use a Staedtler waterproof marker.  I do not
    know if these are very fine point, but I will try to find one today in
    an arts store.



    Does anyone have any other pen recommendations?  Am I one of the last
    pen resist users - everyone else uses photoresist or other methods?  I
    thought there would be a standard choice all of you experienced board
    people would jump in - in unison and tell me to go out and get!
