2. Secondly, the circuit diagram will be transferred onto the copper plate with the help of an iron. The copper plate is covered carefully with the paper of circuit diagram and glued tightly around the copper plate. Then place the iron on the top of the paper which is on the top of the circuit board and place the iron there for about 30/45 seconds. When completed, take off all of the paper from the iron. Finally, you have a copper board with your PCB pads and with signal lines 3. Later, it is necessary to prepare the acid etchant by using chemical solutions to remove all unnecessary copper on the board. For example, ferric chloride is one of the most implemented ones to dissolve the copper. Moreover, we need pure water to clean the acid drops or particles on the PCB. The chemical solution will provide us to remove the copper except the marked areas on PCB. PCB is then submerged into the ready solution and checked it every single 30-35 seconds. Once the unnecessary copper on PCB is dissolved, take the board out for next process. But, as the method requires extreme safety measures, make sure that you take all the precautions to prevent the possible dangers. By wearing safety glassess, gloves and aprons, you can minimize the potantial effects of process. 5
