Electro-Etching

2004-11-05 by Gary

Just in case any are interested, I Electro-etch most boards.
(Reverse Electroplating)
Than just a bit of Ferric Chloride to finish them off at the end as 
it is impossible to Electro-etch the last little bit.
This Reduces my cost to almost Nothing.

See the "Electro Etching" article on my Webste at: 
http://www3.telus.net/chemelec/Projects/Projects.htm

I use Shipleys Photo Resist. They have recently Improved it and it 
works fantastic.

One other piece of advice, Print Two Positives and tape them one over 
the other. It gives a Much Better Contrast for blocking the 
Ultraviolet.

Take care.........Gary
