Poor PCB quality.
Hi peeps..... Just a "heads up" re "cheap pcb material" on "T" ebay....
I bought a pack of 5 sheets about 6" x 4"of paper phenolic.... single sided, for screening cans etc.... not serious pcb's... Today I made a screen for my VFO module for the Eddy EC10, the copper is not adhered "stuck" to the base material very well, it can remove its self quite easily..... I use masking tape to mark lines on the material,.... removing the masking tape, unless removed very carefully can lift the copper. Yes I know you get what you pay for....and this stuff is probably old.. out of date, offcuts. Just so you know...

Re: Poor PCB quality.
Thanks for the info.
I'll close this thread before it becomes a discussion about eBay sellers.
