Homebrew PCBs

Andrew, indeed it might be something I might like to try.  Just curious why
do you think it would not give suitable results?

Given that waterjets are used to cut steel, I expect something like this is
feasible ... but I have doubts that it is going to give very good results.
Of course, you may prove me wrong!

do you think of spraying a PCB with automotive spray paint and using a water
jet to remove the paint. After removing the paint, the board is etched.
Electric pressure washers produce 1800 psi. Hypodermic needles are available
in .004". Do you think there would be enough pressure out of a .004" opening
to remove the coating on the board?
