Homebrew PCBs

Thanks Malcom, I will give that a try... it does not affect the opposite
side copper?

I always wanted to be an anonymous type anyway, thay are mostly gone, maybe
this will finally finish off those pesky fingerprints.

Thanks again...73

  Heat one corner with a hot air paint stripping gun so that you lift enough
copper to be able to grab it with the pliers. Clamp one end firmly, apply
the heat gun to heat just infront of the area of copper you are lifting and
pull on the copper to remove it. The price you pay is like all soldering and
electronic work is you loose your fingerprints.

  I was wondering, I have a pretty good stash of double sided board, but
very

  little single sided.

  I have been using Eagle to design my boards so far, and for the sake of

  simplicity, I have been trying to keep to one sided designs. Plus the fact

  that I have just learned about how to make a ground plane in Eagle, there
is

  not too much to etch on the bottom side, and a great big field to etch
away

  on the top.

  Has anyone come up with a way to quickly strip the copper from one side of
a

  double sided board?

  With practice, I hope to be able to align the patterns well enough to make
a

  good double sided board, but for now, I have been just trying to etch it

  away.

  Any suggestions would be appreciated.
