Re: Heat gun after toner transfer....

2005-09-08 by lcdpublishing

Check it out! 

In the files section, look for heatguntoner001.jpg it's a scan of the 
board after etching.  The scan does not show the glossy toner effect 
from the heat gun. I looked at it with a loupe before etching and the 
toner did look like it blended together pretty good (my eyes are not 
the best, but it did look pretty good).  The etching again, went very 
good.  Tomorrow I will wash off the toner to see what the copper looks 
like but I suspect it is going to be pretty crisp looking.  Under the 
loupe, it appears as though I should have etched for another minute, 
but it is pretty darn good looking so far.

I don't want to remove the toner in case there is something wrong, 
don't want another "IFU" to sleep on :-)
