     @ekaitz_zarraga im trying to etch a dummy pcb by electrolysis to see if that'd be a viable way to do it at home instead of messing with acids

     @piggo so you are just plating the piece of copper with more copper and taking the copper from the pcb.

     @ekaitz_zarraga yes! i probably didnt need copper for the negative electrode, but thats what i had on hand, a thick grounding wire

     @piggo you can also make the vias with the same trick. Good stuff.

     @ekaitz_zarraga i never quite understood how vias are made. the fr4 is not conductive, why would the copper deposit there?

     @piggo you can put graphite, diluted in ink, for instance.
