Toner Transfer Paper Problems

Could talk us through the tin plate process?

Tinnit Tin Plate 340-188

I used to use this stuff, but now I silver coat instead.

It is electro-less tin plate liquid:

421-500ML MG Chemicals Solder, Fluxes & Accessories

Just steel wool the copper to be bright, remove any steel wool residue then drop into a ziplock bag with liquid tin and agitated for 5 minutes. I've been using the same stuff for over a yr now and it still does a quick plate. about $35.......

Be advised that liquid from MG deteriorates over time, and is expensive. I just called them yesterday, and they told me that the shelve life is about a year or at most 2... I will buy some mix as need off of ebay if I can find it, it makes more sense to me.

Hello Roline

Is the board in your post single or double sided? If it is Double sided would you share your total technique with us, I am working on a double sided project my self...
