Usage Tips and Best Practices

• Store in a dry environment to prevent copper oxidation and moisture absorption
• Use proper safety gear when cutting, drilling, or etching to avoid injury and copper dust
• Clean the copper surface before etching to ensure consistent pattern transfer
• For fine traces consider using photoresist or toner transfer methods for higher precision

Safety and Handling

• Handle boards carefully to avoid bending or cracking the FR4 substrate
• Wear eye protection and a dust mask when machining or sanding the board
• Dispose of etching chemicals and copper waste according to local regulations
