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.

New article - AMTECH's RMA-223-UV Flux: Genuine or Counterfeit?
By Ahmad Tabbouch - Sunday, December 27th 2009 @ 21:16:50 ADST
Doh! Paste flux.

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 --

New Product - Cool-Amp PCB Silver Plating Powder
By Ahmad Tabbouch - Monday, September 21st 2009 @ 19:00:53 AEST
Cool Amp

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

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.
