I generally use superglued on MePads from QRPme but burn through them at a great rate. Recently I had a go at cutting insulating tracks on PCB with a Dremel cutter wheel.
I purchased a set of diamond (really?) tipped hole saw bits intending to use them to cut my own pads but this didn't really work as the thickness of the cut is so wide you make a big hole and get a very small pad.
By using the hole saw to just cut the copper layer I get a nice insulated pad and it's not hard to add extra pads to a circuit under construction. Here's a diode ring modulator currently on the bench:
MePads are great but it galls me to pay more for postage than the product. I wonder if a PCB manufacturer can make something like them?
