Default Foam cutting help

I also did what he did. I used the diagram where the connections are all just in one block. I drew lines between these connections and solid 1/8" circles where the components go through the curcuit board. Makes it look like a real circuit board as you see in your radios unlike the blocking that is done in the instructions.

Radio shack sells a kit to etch a board. I bought it and it comes with two cuircuit boards, etching solution, pen to mark the lines on your boards, piece of green pad to clean the protective coating off before you begin, and a solution to clean the ink from the pen off when you are done etching.

Its a simple process that the instructions explains well that comes with the kit.

This was my first project and I completed it without problems. If my scanner was working I could post a pic of my lines I used... sorry, but you can figure it out with just a little effort.
