Homebrew PCBs

John,

Idea is great, no doubt: bake laser toner onto a water soluable paper 
and then transfer that ink onto the copper. After that, one needs to 
soak the PCB in water and the paper will dissolve. One major problem 
I see in it is that it is just too ideal to be true, with all the 
boundry problems on the very first layer of paper- what really 
happens there? Dextrin paper was supposed to do just that (and 
supposedly does it and we've been persuing that dextrin paper for 
long- now way to make it. Too tru to be beautiful... My opinion is 
from the sorts if it looks like a duck.


Stefan,

That's my non scientific method of distinguishing dream from reality, 
time will tell and I want to be wrong.

As far as what I said about this forum that we pretty much can close 
it down after I posted laminator+Staples paper solution, it still is 
true: no other major breakthru was made so far. Before that method 
make a PCB was a hit and miss, now it's sure thing. I keep debating 
if I should get rid of a UV exposure lamp.


Oh, here is a manual for newcomers:
