Here is something you might like for restoration projects.

You can make your own PCB's, but why in this day and age? You can have them done for cheap by mail order and can download, for free, Eagle layout software. It has a reduced layout size on the free download, but you can lay it out different ways. Mail order, you can get a pro job (no ragged etching, etc.) quick and relatively cheap, without the Ferric Chloride waste, staining problem.

HMMM... Did you even look at the site? There are no chemicals with this. Just putting out info, I really don't do PCB's myself, but the dry transfer system is pretty nice for white lettering.

If someone wants to use it to make circuit boards, ferric chloride etching solution would be a necessity - unless they have something that can lay copper on a bare phenolic board.

Our technique couldn't be simpler. Print your circuit pattern, transfer to our inexpensive 1/2oz copper board with 100% reliability, add a sealing foil over the toner to prevent any pitting of the copper, etch the board in under a minute (without an etching tank we might add) then wipe the image off the board with acetone and you're ready to rock 'n roll.

Chemicals.

OK, so there are some chemicals. I really don't know anything about doing this. I just thought it might be of interest since there are a lot of big name companies using his system. The decal pro dry transfer system is top notch. There are a lot of steps but you can't get an ALPS printer anymore to do white, gold or silver lettering.
