[sdiy] Datek paper / press-n-peel

[R. Drake]

Tom,

i just got a batch of the Datek paper, and i'm not having much luck so far.
temperature/pressure seem to be the issues.  after a couple of failures with
the iron, i just tried building a sandwich with of 1/8" aluminum plates with
the PC board & transfer paper in between.  preheated the plates in a 350deg
oven, then clamped the sandwich w/ c-clamps, cooked the whole thing for 10
minutes.  about 1/2 the traces on a 2"x7" board transfered.

i'm thinking of trying the press-n-peel stuff instead
(http://www.techniks.com/retail.htm) which several folks have referred to on
sdiy sites... anyone have recommendations on using their "blue" vs. "wet"
transfer film?
