I am very surprised to hear about your problems with Shipley Electroless
Copper.  I am with Electro Plate Circuitry in Carrollton, Tx.  We
manufacture Military and High-Rel Commercial Multilayers.   We have been
using Shipley # 3350 Electroless Line for the past 7 years.  We have had
great success from a performance and support standpoint.  We have found that
when we do run into a problem, Shipley's tech support is at our facility
within hours and solves the problem in a timely manner.   We have always
found that the problem is a result of something we did or did not do.  Feel
free to give me a call, If I cannot help you,  I can put you in contact with
someone who can. (214)466-0818.
