Stencilling with brass sheet

[spiyda]

just in case anyone hasn't thought of it already,
if you don't have proper stencil making facilities and need a stencil quickly,
try etching thin brass sheet.. 

I only use it on small boards, up to about A6 size

produced by the same toner transfer process I use for pcbs.. 

I've used a brass stencil for several thousand boards with no signs yet of wear..

5 thou thickness seems to work well, not too much paste and stiff enough to not need a frame
