Subject: Re: materials that can be used as etch resist...?

I recently stumbled across this page when looking for something else:
"Ecoresist" from Camnitzer
<http://www.studio-camnitzer.com/ecoresist_ann.htm> .
The last paragraph tells where to get some to work with. If it's truly
comparable to the Kodak Photoresist (KPR) I recall working with many
incarnations ago (early 1970's) it only takes a couple of drops to
sensitize a typical PCB, so 1/2 pint should keep a typical hobbyist
going for a year or two.

can be removed easily with the right "stuff" (whether it be chemical or
mechanical) but not by the etchant.
