International House of PC Boards

2009-02-25 by Chris Trask

I'm very much interested in trying this laser toner transfer method for
homebrewing single-sided PC boards, and the thought came to me that perhaps
an electric waffle iron would be a more practical alternative than using a
clothes iron.  With the PC board material and the paper sandwiched between a
couple of pieces of aluminum or copper plate, the heat and pressure would be
more uniform and it would become a matter of applying the pressure for a
suitable amount of time.

    But without any strawberries or blueberries.  :{b

    Has anyone ever tried this approach?

Chris
