I did it.

I'll blog more about how it went down (very well!) tomorrow.

After >20 tries this weekend, and almost all of 2 days, I have finally achieved a solder stencil template. Tips:

* Use the glossiest magazine paper you can find. I used the back cover of "Canadian Cycling" magazine
* Apply every last ounce of pressure you have. I clamped an iron upside down to the workbench, blue taped the Al+paper/toner on, then applied pressure with a wooden rolling pin for 2-3 mins. Set iron @ 70% heat.

This is Archie, one of my neighbour's 4 cats. I cat sit for her occasionally. The AP is warm, so he likes it up there.

He has a black nose! Isn't it cute?

picked up one of these today as a holiday gift for a friend's teenage daughter. I think she's going to love it. It sounds fantastic.
