hello,
	I am looking for a method of plating the holes of Printed
Circuit Boards by hand.  The University here has the ability to
manufacture Double sided PCBs, but not plating them.  I have made due up
till now by drilling small via holes and running feed through wires,
but there must be a better way.  This knowledge would be useful,
considering the number of hobbyests who do not have the money to
commercially manufacture boards. 
	
	I have heard of a pen that lets you draw conductive traces,
has anyone tried plating holes with this? 

	Or perhaps have a source for fine copper foil?, or a way of
getting solder drawn through the hole making a connection? or some
other hair-brained idea? :-)
					Thanks.
