When tracing out the connections on a regular copper-clad board that
will be etched with ferric chloride, is it really necessary to use one
of those "special" ink-resist pens? Can't I just use like a..
Sharpie?

Thanks


Sharpies work great! Put it on as thick as you can tho!

Just make sure you use black only, other colors don't
seem to work very well if at all.

I use Humbrol enamel intended for model-making. By using a fine "pencil"
signwriting brush I can flow it on nicely and form smooth-edged tracks and
pads etc, quite easily. Nitromors paint stripper removes it OK afterwards,
as long as you don't leave it on long enough to attack the board.
