  • This short video is not a hobby board by the way. Another alternative is to use a prototype board house (search google for prototype pcb) these companies will combine projects from many customers to produce low qty boards. Often you can get a 2 layer board for about $35/ea. These boards will be plated like in this video (usually tin/lead solder not gold though)

  • Conductive holes in PCB's are typically an electro plating process. The process is not common for a hobby level PCB. For hobbyist, using a jumper wire, using surface mount parts, or existing leads of IC's resistors to connect one layer to another is more efficient.

  • I can't recommend a brand because I just grab the first one I see. It is conductive paint and non resistive. The one I used I think was called CRL but I'm not exactly sure. it has been awhile since I've worked on PCBs and I'm just getting back into it.

  • @ddzahn Interesting... Can you recommend me a brand name or something else Googlable?

  • There is a very easy way to do this at home. Go to your local car parts store and buy the stuff to repair a rear window defroster. It is a liquid and conductive and when it dries it is durable.

  • In industry, they dip whole array of circuit boards to solution and apply it by passive electrolysis or other chemical process.

  • This is a high resolution microscope's video. 99.999% of DYI don't have $ to buy or having access to this type of instrument. It's a PCB through hole all right, but it seems to be made by the normal plating process, not any technique doing at any home DIY.

  • I had been thinking of jumper wire too. But if I had 100 holes, it'll easier to dip it or spray it.

  • why dosent you just use a jumper?

  • I believe it looks like a coating of some kind, you can see how the copper sticks to the inner contour of the rough walls. I have this thing called 'copper spray' used on car head gaskets. I don't know if I should try that.
