[sdiy] PCBoards at home

[dj hohum]

Hi All,

I have some old  kepro photosensitized pc boards. They are  dated
1997. They, of course, are still sealed, but I'm wondering if they are
any good. It's no loss if they're not, they were free and can still be
used in the traditional manner.  I have a small glass plate with foam
back and clamp to sandwich the negative for exposure. What kind of
lamp do I need? Can I get something cheap at the hardware store that
will work well?

These are a negative process board. What is the most efficient modern
way to diy boards at home? Although I like the idea of having someone
else do them, it still seems like it's more expensive for small
quantities.

Any tips would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Daryl
