I've done some more ironing experiments. The toner is sticking to the board very well in most areas. With a little practice, it should be fine. Problem is that I can't get the paper off without tearing off the traces. I've got a TQFP64 package with a bunch of parallel runs with 5 mils between them. The toner looks fine, but the paper is stuck in the spaces between runs. I soaked it for an hour, but can't get the paper out of the cracks without tearing off the runs. Larger traces with more space are no problem. Suggestions? Also, what do people use to touch up missing trace segments, pinholes, etc.??? Lumocolor 313-2 would do it except that the pen tip is way too large. If I could find a pen that would do the touch up, I'd just plot with the pen and be done with it. What I need is a finepoint system 0.1 pen with etch resistant ink. How do the various etchants affect different inks? I've only used FeCl. Are other etchants easier on the resist? Thanks, mike
