The BLACKHOLE processes is fast, cheaper and safer to run than conventional electroless copper. This is expected since its aim is to replace the electroless...
Hi all, To make spray-on prp resist work well, the copper has to be cleaned well. Some things that work: salt and vinegar, salt and lemon juice, citric acid,...
I don't know if you want this around if you have kids, but MG Chemicals makes "Liquid Tin" -- which plates in 5 minutes. The contents are nasty -- fluoroboric...
Why not silver plate your PCB. It's easy to do with "CoolAmp". CoolAmp silver plating powder is applied to a clean PCB with a damp cloth pad. Simply dip the...
No doubt it has a use for repairing things that need to be conductive. I can't see squeezing epoxy into 500-1500 0.032" holes. Another thing it would not allow...
This sounds good. I assume that this is just for hole activation and standard electroplating is done next to build up the holes. What is the success rate at...
... I think this product is just for reworking/repairing traces. Also imagine if I had a board with 10000 holes. Do you think I want to spend me time coating...
