pc board etching help

[KTpG]

I used the toner transfer method to transfer my art onto my copper board. Well, I have a few problems now.

In some of my traces, thereare holes, not big holes, but they are big enough that they are a hole. It may mess somehting up. Also, part of my board was left off at the top, and it is kind of necessary. Should I use dry transfers or a resist-ink pen to fill in these missing sopts or just etch it anyway and have it be messed up?

Thanks

Take a Sharpie (ultra-fine for small traces) and draw in the missing traces. Draw over the holes. Basically you should not see any copper where the traces are.

Believe me I would... but I tried using a TON of different types of paper, and all of them messed up.... finally I accidentally stumbled across this piece of trash and it was a waxy paper- worked like a charm, though it left a few holes...

I will try the Sharpie.

Thanks!
