Re: MAKING YOUR OWN PC BOARDS
Forgot to mention something in the previous post...
Some folks are put off by the cost of the hot laminator we've been mentioning.
Like Doug pointed out, there are some bargain deals to be found,

Re: MAKING YOUR OWN PC BOARDS
I think I'm on the same path. I've been trying to re-create boards using Chuck Adams methods, but with varying degrees of success. Learning curve on using the software was huge, but I got past it.

Re: MAKING YOUR OWN PC BOARDS
I've tried out Chucks's suggested paper, and a couple of other re-purposed alternatives. they certainly work, but it took a while to soak off, and I always had trouble cleaning off the paper residue

Jim, I use the paper Chuck specifies, and it is $17 for 250 sheets. Tony Fishpool uses paper that he gets from advertising in the mail printed on slick paper. I think your covering how to do

I'm not sure if this is the same brand Jim uses, but I've had good luck with Pulsar Technologies. Go to PCBFX.com for all the details. A sheet of transfer paper isn't real cheap,

Re: MAKING YOUR OWN PC BOARDS
Thanks - sounds great. Where do you find the commercially sold transfer paper? Does it have a particular brand / name or description?
I wish I could be there but will try these techniques.

This sounds great! Thanks for the shopping list.
Can you tell us where to find a description by Chuck of how to make the boards?
I would love to start using his method!

Doug,
Nick is giving a presentation specifically on this subject at the coming OzarkCon. Perhaps you would want to attend to get his first hand information ??
