Tape for toner transfer   Message List

Re: Tape for toner transfer

I use 3M brand blue painters tape. It is a lower tac then regular
masking tape.

I tape two opposing sides. I am not sure it is the greatest idea maybe
one edge is enough.

If you make the PCB a bit larger you can tape over an unused area, no
need to remove the tape.
