Using Free catalogs as TT (uk)

Using Free catalogs as TT (uk)

2007-01-21 by Lez

I think for us uk'ers trying different papers, we should possibly look
at the free catalogs that certain high street stores produce


I tried the weekly asda mag, not over impressed, but what about argos........

Its only each quarter, but usually with like 1000 a4'ish pages, more
than enough that a 2 or 3  of these catalogs would keep the average
hobbyist going for a very long time..........

If it works, anyone got a catalog?

I will get one tomorrow and have a try, unless someone beats me to it.

Same problem as the gloss inkjet paper - you're into scrub'n'rub hell.

For me, the worst part of scrub'n'rub is getting the paper out of the
pad holes, and out of the fine gaps between traces/pads.

Have you tried foam rubber? I found that makes it childsplay. Just take a  
piece, and rub with quite some pressure.
