I'm like 3 resistors and 2 caps away from a point to point Meathead right now. I wish I just had all the parts I needed in my stash.

It took a while for me to "have all the parts" to be able to just put together stuff on a whim...still need more actually. Helps to buy a few extra things you might not need right then, each time you place an order. I can send you the 3 res and 2 caps if you want? (free of charge of course)

Fuzz Face with AC128s.

I dig the sound. It's slightly on the dark side in a cool way.

So tried a new method for etching the other day that totally did not work at all. I used gloss ink jet photo paper instead of pnp. I read all over online about using the shit and people have great success with it. I however must me an abnormal case as the shit hates my ass. Tried to get a transfer out of the shit twice with no success. The problem is the photo paper can't handle the heat and without the heat, the transfer doesn't occur. I had a towel over my enclosure ironing that bitch for like 30 mins. After I was done, there was one fucking corner transferred. Great it works. Kind of. One fucking corner. 30 fuckin minutes. The one corner that did transfer however had not only transferred the black ink, but the white of the paper as well! So totally useless as the acid would now have no surface to eat at! I've re-watched the videos and I don't get how people use the shit honestly. It makes no fucking sense. I have on order 30 sheets of PNP wet now. lol


A question once again (I believe I've already asked this an no one answered or I don't recall). What do you all do with the etchant after you're done? I know you're not supposed to continually use the etchant because of the copper build up in it and it won't etch as well. So this means I have to dispose of the shit. Well I can't just dump it in my yard. Do hardware stores take it like they do motor oil? I would call but I don't want to sound like a dumb ass asking them. So I figured I'd sound like on here first.

DRIIIIINK ITTTTT.

(you shouldn't drink it. that's probably a horrible idea.)

Some paper is better than others. I tried a few varieties before finding one that is cheap and works well. I get it at the dollar store in packs of 8 or 10, I forget. It is the cheapest, crappiest paper. Get it wet, and within 15 minutes it turns to mush. You just have to experiment until you find a variety that works.

Another alternative that works really well is to use magazine paper. Pull a page out of a cheap glossy magazine, like a sales catalog, and try that. It should only take 5-6 minutes to transfer, and then a brief soak in water to remove the paper. Works great.

For spent etchant, I store it. Once or twice a year, my city does a hazardous materials collection day, where you can bring it in for safe disposal. Maybe your city has something similar?
