... I have one of the small shear/breaks that Micro Mark advertises. They can be ordered from Harbor Freight I believe, as well. I don't remember which I got...
Is it this benchtop shear at HF you guys are using? http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/displayitem.taf?Itemnumber=90757 dave mc [Non-text portions...
Dave, That's a nice unit you have. It looks well made, shouldn't have the issue that I had. Once I shimmed mine, it works great. Did yours have an angle to the...
Whilst searching for a walk-in supplier of black-lights, I came across a section on Wiki that suggests that CFL bulbs might produce more UV than a regular...
Lee, I actually don't own that shear. I'm just asking if this is the Harbor Freight unit you guys have been talking about. How much did u pay for yours? ...
Luc - I wanted to really thank you for this post. I've been trying to do toner transfers for .. well .. forever. Never got anything even vaguely useful. I am...
Just though I would mention that the Royal Auto mag (RACV) is great paper. With my samsung ml-2010, I didnt even need to soak the paper. It just peels off and...
Well, try number 2 wasn't great at all. Actually, it was dinky-di, true blue, slap-my-butt-and-call-me-Mary perfect! A couple of other notes... I used Scotch...
Hi, I got some HCl at 32% and H2O2 at 33% concentrations from our chemistry supply shop. How do I use these materials in order to etch? Do i need a special...
For 1 liter, 700cc distilled water, 270cc HCl and 30cc H202. Keep your H202 in a very dark and cold place to minimize decomposition. You can use the mixture...
Forgot a few point. You can use plastic container. Air bubble improve etching time. And always put HCl into water, not water into HCl. Dissociation of an acid...
Phil, Glad you found my post useful. I, too, have switched to using pages from Australian Aviation magazine. I had a copy of it laying around the house and...
Hi Dave, ... I've been using that shear for several years now. I see that the price has gone up about 40% from when I bought mine. I've been using it to cut...
I am currently etching a PCB with 2 parts peroxide to 1 part muriatic acid. It is cloudy and cool here and I am doing it outside to avoid the fumes. It seems...
Update...It finished at 11:00. Barely any copper came off in the first 30 minutes, but then the etching made noticeable progress. It must be the cool...
What paper are you using? I am using Staples Photo Basic Gloss. I iron the transfer down for 5 minutes, then cool the pcb under cold water. Then I pull the...
Hi ... I using matte paper. I print using laser printer (maximum dark) on the matte paper. I iron the PCB with the matte paper (by putting iron stationary...

I just thought that I would share my recent discovery. I was going to my local stores to find some of the specific paper that people have had success with and...
I've been using a Samsung ML=2010 laser printer along witha a Xerox laminator for pcb for a while now. The Xerox branded laminator has an adjustable...
*** Update *** I did some research for a formula using H202 (Hydrogen Peroxide) and HCL (Hydrochloric Acid or Muriatic Acid)and found out that I was using too...
"Fresh" 3% H2O2 will work. The problem is that once the bottle is opened the H2O2 starts to degrade and weaken. Almost anything will cause the H2O2 to...
Thanks for your reply. The H202 that I used was fresh right out of a new bottle of peroxide. I do not know why it didn't work for me as quickly as it do for...
Has anyone successfully used a HP 5P printer to do toner transfers? I'm using paper from Pulsar with a laminator that they sell (bought from Digi_Key). The...
... Yep, and it's not in the printer driver. Look for a program in the HP directory called HPPCFG or the like. That is what you need to run. It allows you to...
