Thanks Adam,

I'm in the US. I found the smallest $85 at Think & Tinker, Ltd.
It's still too much for a beginner since I will never use up all of
it. I did most my boards on presensitized copper clads. It turned
out prety good but I still want some experiments with dry film.

I just wonder if someone have bought the stuff from Think & Tinker,
Ltd. and sell it on Ebay or something like that for a small quantity.
