Liam	PCB Manufacture Having spent a few years modifying existing effects, and making occasional stripboard circuits, I'd like to have a go at making some PCBs. What methods would anyone recommend for a beginner? I like the idea of press'n'peel, but it looks quite costly if I do quite a few. I've got access to a light box for doing exposures, but having looked at the systems available I've really got to commit to a system before I buy any chemicals, etc. Also, is it worth gearing up to do double sided boards from the start. It does seem to make bigger circuits a lot easier to route. Thanks for your advice Liam
