3. Now darken the layout with the help of permanent marker. Draw carefully there should be no
overlapping or shorting of tracks or components present in it. Check once more if required.
The neatness of PCB lies in pattern drawing so clean and clear PCB is more appropriate to work for
the first time. You can also take the print out of the same on sticker paper, if you are using
any software for drawing PCB.
4. Now carefully cut the required copper clad sheet and wash it properly. Now place the sticker
paper on copper side of copper clad sheet.
5. Carefully cover the sticker paper on copper clap sheet with the help of tap. Be careful there should
be no air bubble inside.
6. Now take an iron(used for ironing clothes) set the temperature to approx. in middle and iron your
sheet on the sticker paper side by applying pressure for approx.10 minutes.
7. After that put your PCB underweight. If you do not do this then there is a chance that your PCB
may bend. Keep it underweight until it become cool.
8. Now remove the paper very slowly and see you have transformed the print on copper clad sheet.
9. Now carefully examine the sheet for shorting, missing of tracks with help of circuit diagram.
10. Now again darken the traces with the help of permanent marker.
11. Fill the extra space present on Copper Clad Sheet with marker it will save your etching time. As
shown in fig below.
12.Now put your PCB in feCl3 solution for etching keep it for 15 minutes then see if it is properly etch
or not.
13. After this wash it properly with the help of Scrubber. Your PCB may look like this.
14. You can tin your tracks with the help of solder wire it will prevent oxidation on PCB from
environment hence increases the life of your PCB.
15. Now your PCB is ready to mount components.
