    Homemade PCB Fixing Ideas Please

    I have etched a PCB... almost perfect except for a couple of lines which are joined but shouldn't be.

    What is the best way of removing this excess copper post production?


    Thanks!
    One toke? You poor fool! Wait till you see those goddamn bats.

    I scrape it away with a craft knife.

    use knife or blade to scratch it off. here is another tough idea, take a ear cleaning bud, dip it in concentrated ferric chloride, then rub the unwanted track and wipe it off. i have done this only once,

    i've done that also a couple of times, if its an easy straight line i just cut it caw/ an exato knife, if complicated, i've just scratched in the line so i can see it throught
    clear paint or wax and rescratched it then reetched. has worked good for me so far. i'm learning to tripled check now
