- The best technique I've used is to etch and drill one side of the board
- (the other side being covered by masking tape) then use the drilled holes
- for alignment of the second side. Masking tape on the etched side keeps
- those traces intact when you etch the second side.
-
- Instead of drilling all the holes, I usually include four registration pads
- at the extreme corners of the PCB so that if a little etchant leaks through
- the hole from the side being etched, nothing critical is damaged.
