ok so i chose the "prototype" option - no solder mask, no silkscreen, just bare copper.

the rules for the eurocircuits proto boards are... both strict and also odd. there's a minimum via size which is quite huge (24mil surround, 10mil drill), fortunately however i've been able to design all 3 pcbs around that. i believe it means that there is a big advantage when it comes to production: lower cost! :)

also the 1kW IR soldering station is arriving tomorrow, it will be.... interesting to work out how to use it. i will try some experiments first...
