Hi, Yes, we just built a new plant, and used copper again. The stuff we cut out of the old building was copper, and it was fine without any issues. We lay it on an angle so condensation flows to an end, and can be periodically vented, and we take a

We have in-house PCB fabrication capability for items such as simple single-sided prototype boards, copper shields and copper stencils for our paint shop. We are having difficulty acquiring small containers of chemicals, especially developer and stri
