PCB Etching

Great day everyone!

Do you know how to make a circuit on a PCB board?

Like this:

• The first thing to do is to print your circuit on a photopaper.
• You will need a flat surface iron.
• a PCB board cut to your desired size.
• Gloves
• Ferric chloride
• mask (if you have asthma) 
• plastic container

Place the photopaper to the copper side of the pcb board. The circuit should be underneath of the photopaper.

With the flat iron, ironed the photopaper until its back turn to black.

after it turns black remove the paper with water until the circuit peek through

submerged the pcb board in a container with ferric chloride 

Every 2 minutes move the board on it's place with the use of gloves(they say it stains and harmful to the skin) so that the copper will be dissolve faster.

Wait for few minutes.

And there you have it.

If you cant understand what I'm saying watch this video below:

Note: The pictures and the video is not mine.

I did make my own with the use of masking tapes as my first trial but unfortunately it turns to this:

I prefer the flat iron, use masking tape if you have a very basic and simple circuit.

SAD....

but i did a new one 

You can use steel wool or sand paper in removing the black on the copper

THANK YOU!!

HASTA LA PROXIMA VES!!
