> Double sided is OK with care. If you are looking for thru-hole plating, check out the http://www.lpkf.com website. The EasyContac (http://www.lpkf.com/others/1/233-rp_chapter_easycontac.pdf) is a manual thru-hole plating process in which you basically flare open the ends of a copper barrel after instering it thru the hole. That kit unlike the rest of their products wasn't overly expensive either.=20 For free time browsing, the LPKF site is definitely one to visit. They make a lot of neat prototyping stuff though most of it is very expensive. Shahid -- http://www.piclist.com hint: The list server can filter out subtopics (like ads or off topics) for you.
