Rob,

If you want some of the orignal Veroboard ( for free...) pm me your address and I'll get some in the post...

Shout up if you need help building a power supply.. :thumbup:  Although I wouldnt recommend it as a first or early project...it involves mains electricity...

fg board ='s what? Fiberglass? Phenolic (sp?)?

The lighting tells my eyes it has a green tint. Maybe my monitor's not set right. A green color usally indicates fiberglass to me. I've used the brown colored boards before also. They were a phenolic base.

fg = fibreglass...

Brown boards usually made from SRBP, Synthetic Resin Bonded Paper..

The green stuff is a solder resist mask added over the copper to protect it...Generally I just spray over my boards with some lacquer after soldering all the components to protect from the environment..Stops the copper from oxidising

Bernd:
Got it now John, thanks. Like the clear lacquer over the copper. Great idea.

John Rudd:
Bernd,

I aint no Guru..

Just like sharing what I know, like everyone else... :thumbup:

I know some folk like Oneupmanship....having more knowledge than some one else...

I'm not like that..if some one needs to know something and I can help I will...
