In one of the things I do in pottery is to fire on a finish on top of a glaze that can either be gold or platinum or both. It is of course a very thin coat but it got me to wondering. If I were to use either glass or a porcelain(with a clear glaze) substrate and resist out the traces so as to make a flat etched coil(which has been described before in copper), would there be any benifit. I also saw that someone is using an old hp plotter that they bought on ebay and changed pens to resist a prototype board using turbo cad for a quick test of an idea.
Since both the platinum and the gold are in a liquid resin mixture is there anything going on with the close proxcimity of these two metals that have any advantages or the thinness of the metal film. Cost would be very small as a $25 .5 grm bottle of liquid goes a very long ways.
I recently ordered a thermocouple for my kiln that uses platinum/10% rhodium wire. since the juction of these two metals have an ability to create an electrical charge when heat is applied made me wonder about other materials and methods for coils that I use in my work.
