Convert your components to traces - I "mirror" image it because I print on a special paper that allows me to invert it as I heat press it onto copper clad

Once you get a good working design that you have confidence in, add your electrical parts to the design.

step 9 - I cut out the boards with a band saw, and do all of my machining work. After I have good results I wipe off the toner with laquer thinner

step 8 - I use a 3:1 ratio of hydrogen peroxide and muriatic acid to etch the boards. The solution eats all the copper that isn't protected by the toner.
