Re: [Homebrew_PCBs] silicone paper

2005-05-12 by Stefan Trethan

The silicone paper is frustrating me a lot.
Instead of getting better things seem to get only worse.


I have picked up a 20cm wide stainless squeegee which is great for  
spreading the silicone very evenly (also, it is great for scraping off  
toner off PCBs).

However, everything else is not good at all. the printouts are destroied  
in areas, i think by the fuser. the transfer is not working properly. In  
areas all is well but never the whole board. The frustrating thing is that  
it gets worse by the minute instead of better.

I've had well enough for today, right now i don't know how to proceed.  
Systematic troubleshooting should be the answer, but i don't seem capable  
right now to do that. It is the first time i begin to have doubts about  
the paper, better get a good book and stop for today.
