Re: [Homebrew_PCBs] Homebrew through plating station - sucess!

2003-06-07 by adam Seychell

Very rewarding work. Are the boards through hole plated or 
just plated on the outside ? I only ask because I wasn't 
sure if you have the electroless up and running.
 From what i've gathered, electroless copper processing is 
by far the most troublesome. If you get that understood, 
then everything else is a little easier. Since you are 
paying good money for these chemicals, then you should 
expect good support from the suppliers.

Will your process use panel plating method for producing 
through hole PCBs ? If so what photoresist will you be using 
to seal the holes from the copper etchant ? Normally they 
are "tented" across with dry film negative resist.
