[sdiy] Datek paper / press-n-peel

[steve thomas]

In the past I have used the blue (dry) press-n-peel with
success. Its far superior to the wet  toner transfer process for pcb's in my
opinion.
I even did a  small double-sided pcb with it, with fine traces.
OK you might get the odd trace that doesnt come through (easily fixed with
an etch resist pen) ..but 99%
of the image transfers quite easily in my experience.

hope this helps
cheers
