Site Disclaimer

The information published on this site is provided for general informational and community reference purposes only. The site operator makes no representation that the content is complete, current, or suitable for any particular purpose. Visitors who act on information found here do so at their own discretion and risk.

Effective Date: This disclaimer is effective from September 27, 2026. Last Updated: This disclaimer was last updated on September 27, 2026.

Safety Warning

Circuit board disassembly involves sharp edges, hazardous materials, and chemical exposure risks.

Visitors must follow appropriate safety precautions when handling electronic components. This site does not provide safety certifications or professional guidance.

General Notice

This site documents techniques, sourcing approaches, and finishing methods related to repurposing discarded circuit boards as art materials. All content is contributed by community members and reflects individual experience rather than professional technical or safety advice. The site operator does not verify the accuracy of every submission and cannot guarantee that documented techniques will produce consistent results across all board types, tools, or working environments. Visitors are responsible for assessing the suitability of any technique before applying it in their own workspace.

Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Australian law, the site operator excludes liability for any loss or damage arising from use of this site or reliance on its content, including but not limited to the following categories of harm.

  • Physical injury or property damage resulting from the application of techniques, tools, or materials described anywhere on this site or its associated community forum.
  • Loss of equipment, materials, or finished work arising from following sourcing, cutting, finishing, or mounting advice published on this site by any contributor.
  • Damage to health caused by exposure to solvents, resins, adhesives, or other chemical finishing agents referenced in community tutorials or forum discussions on this site.
  • Any indirect, consequential, or incidental loss arising from reliance on content published on this site, whether or not the site operator was advised of the possibility of such loss.

Accuracy of Information

Community-contributed content reflects the individual experience of contributors working under specific conditions, with particular board types and tools. Techniques that perform reliably in one context may behave differently when applied to boards of different manufacture, age, or substrate composition. The site operator reviews submitted guides for clarity and plain-language compliance but does not independently test every documented technique. Visitors are advised to treat published guides as starting points for informed experimentation rather than definitive instructions applicable to all circumstances.

Content on this site is reviewed periodically but may not reflect the most current materials, tools, or safety standards available. Visitors should verify time-sensitive information independently before proceeding.

No Professional Advice Given

Nothing published on this site constitutes professional advice of any kind, including but not limited to electrical safety advice, occupational health and safety guidance, or legal advice regarding the disposal or reuse of electronic components. Visitors who require professional guidance on the safe handling of electronic waste, hazardous materials, or workshop safety standards should consult a qualified professional in the relevant field. The community documentation on this site is not a substitute for such advice.

External Links

This site may contain links to external websites operated by third parties, including supplier directories, recycling facility listings, and reference resources. The site operator does not control the content of external sites and accepts no responsibility for the accuracy, availability, or safety of information found on them. The inclusion of a link does not constitute endorsement of the linked site or its content.

No Guarantee of Results or Outcomes

Documented techniques and project approaches are shared for informational purposes only. Results achieved by community members will vary depending on the type of circuit board used, the tools available, the working environment, and the individual skill of the practitioner. The site operator makes no representation that any technique described on this site will produce a particular outcome, and no such representation should be inferred from community gallery submissions or showcase event content.

Variation in Individual Outcomes

Factors including board substrate composition, component density, solder type, age of the board, and the specific tools used in cutting and finishing will all affect the result of any given project. What works reliably on one board type may require adjustment when applied to another. Visitors are encouraged to test techniques on small sections of salvaged material before committing to a full project, and to document their own variations for the benefit of the wider community.

No Financial or Commercial Advice

This site does not provide financial, commercial, or investment advice of any kind. The following clarifications apply to any content that touches on the commercial aspects of circuit board art.

  • References to selling finished circuit board art pieces are informational only. The site operator does not advise on pricing, market conditions, or the commercial viability of any individual project.
  • Mentions of sourcing costs, material expenses, or tool purchases reflect community member experience at a particular point in time and do not constitute price guidance or purchasing recommendations.
  • The site operator accepts no responsibility for any financial loss arising from decisions made on the basis of commercially relevant content published anywhere on this site or its associated forum.

Jurisdiction and Governing Law

This disclaimer is governed by the laws of Australia. Visitors who access this site from outside Australia do so at their own initiative and are responsible for compliance with local laws.
