Kinsten TAIWAN thru hole .. Any One USED/Experienced this

2010-07-29 by Athar Kaludi

The process offered by KINSTEN Taiwan
 for thru plating is shown in link below. If any one using just help me 
providing info on the GEL which the person is applying to mask the whole
 board in first step from brown tube and drying by hair dryer
 and in last step before electroless he is removing the mask for copper 
to take part in plating. I am looking for GEL and remover.

My chemical supplier advice to use PVA cream glue. Whoever using have idea on that.

Looks like some sort of electroless flash copper plating with a tin plating afterwards.

I've been using the Think and Tinker method with huge success.

its very simple and much less involved then the video.

I use the Think and Tinker conductive ink.  For the plating solution I use the Caswell Plating solution.

I just purchase the chemicals and do it with a standard 10 amp power supply.

I'm finishing up my own you tube videos shortly.
