Address,

It's been a few months, but I'm back on the NET Cowboys and 
Cowgirls.  You previously knew me as John Gulley at Hitachi 
Computer Products Division in Norman, OK.  I am know with 
Compuroute Inc. in the BIG D of USA or Texas.

Enough of the intro.....


Does anyone have experience in desmearing, etchbacking and
eletroless plating SPEEDBOARD (PTFE-Teflon) materials.  We have 
been using SPEEDBOARD for approximately a year and have had good 
success through our processes.  Recently we have encountered some 
process issues that are effecting overall quality.

Anyone's assistance on this matter is greatly appreciated.

Regards,

Thomas John Gulley
Process Engineer
