Re: Finalizing PCBs

If it's a small board you can use the same method and clean it up 
with copperbraid.

You could also use a product like "Tinit" and plate the board.  The 
stuff I have came in a powder form that you mix with heated water.  
Dip the board in the solution and wait for a few minutes for the 
plate to build up.  I have noticed that heating the finished board 
can sometimes reveal underlying copper  --ie easybake/toaser oven 
solder method.  I'm not sure if it's an interaction of flux fumes or 
heat or whatever.
