[sdiy] PCB exposure

[BRAVINE]

hi everyone,

For making my own PCBs, I think it would be best to buy positively
sensitized PCBs and transfer the artwork from a properly scaled ink-jeted
transparency.  Now I'm trying to decide whether I should try to build an
exposure unit or use a pre-made solarium (small-sized, of course).

Only problem with the exposure unit is gathering the right parts - I'm not
exactly sure of the right ones.  I know I need coils and a starter and a
couple UV lamps (flood-type, or use aluminum foil for reflection), but where
would I find these items?  Maybe a photo supply shop?  I'm really
considering finding a cheap solarium.

Any comments or suggestions regarding PCB fabrication in general would be
very appreciated.  Thanks.

jeff
