First time I’ve seen a faulty etch too. Don who did the boards, (I always get my “production boards” done with PCB Card and prototypes with Advanced Circuits). It’s absolutely critical you can count on reliable etching. Fortunately for Ian he spotted that one

I’m just interested if it was something associated with a part of the board run or something. Just something to look out for if anyone is having difficulty with A14 and A15.

The solder side of my PC board has a blob of copper shorting out ground, A14 and A15. I've attached a (poor) picture of the blemish (below the solder mask!) and an after-shot of me having to scrape away the copper. Just wondering if anyone else had this same blemish?
