We are your premier Australian source of quality PulsarProFX PCB gear down-under. We only ship nationally, and a portion of our proceeds go towards the care of unwanted, sick or otherwise neglected parrots at the Parrot Rescue Centre, QLD. It's for a good cause, so why not take a gander at our products using the menu above?
We accept PayPal, Bank Deposit, Money Orders and Bank Cheques. Visa and Mastercard payments are also accepted through the PayPal website, without the need to sign up!
We now stock Kapton® polyimide film and HD44780 LCD modules!
There's also an unofficial cameo tutorial on Kapton Masking (also lightly touching on drag-soldering) viewable here. I haven't had the chance to correct potential grammatical and graphical errors yet due to a high workload, so please be gentle.
Purchased some "AMTECH" RMA-223-UV Paste Flux from EBay or DealExtreme? So did we! Actually, we bought a whole bundle of them. As it turns out, life's not all farts and rainbows. We ended up with a stack of fakes and decided to do some more research into the issue --

We've finally imported some more carbide bits, along with some new sizes as requested by several customers. We now stock the sizes required for the LKPF EasyContac system for through-hole copper rivets. Thanks to John Shaw for the tip!
See our products page for a list of available sizes
We've just imported a handful of Weitus ESD-811D and ESD-815D precision tweezers as trial products. These beasties are EXTREMELY SHARP and made of Stainless Steel, which is inherently anti-magnetic and non-corrosive. Ignore the "Made in Switzerland" text, as Switzerland is probably the name of a shop in Hong Kong (which is where we imported them from ;)
The straight tipped tweezer measures in at 140mm in length, and the angled version just two centimetres less, at 120mm (tip to end) - This makes both ideal for techs with larger hands, and gives a greater amount of overall control while suspending miniscule SMD components in preparation for soldering.
We're currently asking $2.50 each, with both styles priced the same, available now via our products page!
Another new addition to the store, Silver Plating Powder by Cool-Amp Conducto-Lube, USA. The smallest quantity they sell is a 4oz jar which is excessive for most homebrew enthusiasts, so we've obtained permission from Cool-Amp directly to re-distribute the compound in small sampler vials, making it cheap enough for everyone ;)
Each vial contains enough compound to plate roughly five moderately-sized double-sided PCBs. You simply apply a small amount of powder onto a very slightly dampenned paper towel, rub the compound onto your PCB artwork quite hard, then voila, Instant silver plating!
The current asking price for each vial is $4.95, and are available now for immediate dispatch via our products page
Part two of my homebrew C/D Welder (and discharge cutter) article is finally underway. The schematics and Bill of Materials have been uploaded prematurely due to massive demand and the rest will follow over the next few days. Be sure to check back regularly for updates

A complete guide (with nearly 50 images!) to creating brilliantly detailed PCBs from home using PulsarProFX products (or pretty much any toner-transfer product out there, with the associated loss in detail) - Makes use of the previous SuperFuser hack in place of a t-shirt press or clothing iron.
