I believe he used an acrylic gel medium, I forgot the name of the stuff he used I wanted to say Gac but I cant remember. I have something basically the same called Liquitex Gloss gel medium.


It's a clear acrylic medium you can apply to a surface and then lay a print on regular paper over the top squeeze out any air bubbles , let it dry, apply water and rub off paper the toner stays with the acrylic.

There's a few videos on youtube of a lady dying boards with dye and markers , John Lyons paints his boards really nice, same with a few other people. I've painted a few And have printed out some sticker paper for the top to make a component side. I like the black blue and red copper clad I picked up recently. They look great when their tinned with mg chems liquid tin.

Here's the pcb dying vids just in case anyone was interested , I have done the marker bit myself a few times and its not bad.

^Yes Jim has the details. Paint the pcbwith acrylic paint, add a Toner Transfer using acrylic medium. I use GAC200 from Golden but there are a lots of other acrylic mediums out there as well as other brands. Just take your "toner" art glue it down to the board with the medium, let it dry, re-wet the paper and rub the paper off. Usually takes a few dry/rewet/rub cycles to remove all the paper. Protect it with a few shots of lacquer, done. Functional, cheap, supplies i already use for other things, non-toxic. As you are working blind, the tricky part is registering the art transfer to the board so everything lines up with the etch on the other side of the PCB.
