Step 5Transfering the design
So we have our tube like transfer and out cut to size board.
1) take your board and slowly slide it into the transfer
2) next use some object (i used a paper clip) to try to adjust the board so it lines up with the design
3) now place the transfer and board on some surface. i put a paper bag down so it wouldnt mess up my desk.
4) now what ever iron you are using turn it up to the HIGH POSSIBLE SETTING (image 4)
5) once the iron is warmed up take it and press down on the board with about 20lbs of force for 20 seconds. (image 5)
6) turn it over and press for another 20 seconds.
7) turn it over again and let it cool for 1 minute or so and press for another 10 seconds.
8) turn it over again and press for another 10 seconds.
9) let it sit for 2 minutes.
10) now you can cut the tape and peel off the paper. hopefully the toner adheared to the baord. (image 6)
11) now go to your sink and using a paper towel and scrub off the white paper until you can see your crispy black lines.
12) if not use the brake cleaner and clean off the PCB completely and start over :(
PS: if you are lost in any of these processes this is a good video showing you how to transfer your PCB design.
