The lighter ink amount worked! I don't think it dries, but it's clear on the copper.

I'm sort of ANGRY RIGHT NOW! I was experimenting in the garage, everything going great, and I was switching the voltage around to 36v to look at something, and I accidentally connected my poor little ATMega8 5v input to 36v... Yep, 36v was a bit high. It broke. I have 1 spare for just such an emergency, but I hope I didnt' break anything else hooking it up like that.

Next step, label the wires! hehe.

It's interesting that chips fail very quietly... They don't say, "no! That's too much voltage! Don't do that!" They just quietly die.....

Christ: I am trying to etch PCB. I just wanted to use mechanical means because people I've talked to said its very hard (an all day activity) to etch 4 or 5 ounce PCB with chemicals because it's so thick. You have to keep going back and shake it around, and there are several kids in this house, and my mother in law would get mad.
