While working with copper sheets, one has to be aware of two things: 1. It is a bloody good conductor of heat. So, if you use a thick copper plate, you may have to use a larger iron. I stick only to thin copper sheets used in transformers. 2. The thin copper sheets, when heated, tend to expand (this is not encountered on sheets that are laminated to a relatively non-expanding substrata like the glass epoxy). This creates a 'dimple' in the sheet. But that resolves quickly as the heat dissipates. - f On Tue, Jan 21, 2014 at 1:28 AM, Frank <w4nhj@xxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Sandeep, > > Do you live in Kolkata?
