An alternative TP hole approach?

2004-10-19 by thespeakerguy

I was wondering if this may ne a reasonable approach:

1 - Drill the blank copper clad board with slightly oversize holes.

2 - Squeeege conductive epoxy into the holes. Cure

3 - re drill the holes to the correct size

4 - electroplate, photo mask, then etch.

This assumes a CNC based drill with good repeatability. It could 
work with LPKF and other grinders, as well as home brews
