[QUOTE="gavinbirss, post: 96139, member: 60"] The most time consuming task is to drill the holes. This may be the motivator to have PCB's made up. Also the quality of the boards and having silk screening/via's, provision for SMD and double sided boards... [u]Tinning vs plating?[/u] Anybody have thoughts? Tinning usually leaves a thick layer and if done in a hurry leaves poor results. Plating (Gold / silver) There is still a long debate about having gold with a copper / tin/lead solder solution as it is believed that gold can break down solder joints... My late father had suggested to use the waste of a all in one photo developer/developer as it is rich in silver oxide from the film/devloping process. This can with a electroplating process be used to silver plate a copper PCB. [/QUOTE]
