Archive of the former Yahoo!Groups mailing list: Homebrew PCBs

Hi,

I'm looking to try out photo etching and am considering the options.

Can someone please recommend a UV lighting source which:
- is cheap
- has consistent UV output
- is readily available, or easily made up from items from general
hardware stores
- gives good results with low exposure time (preferably 5-10 mins,
I'm not keen on 30 minutes)

Also, is it hard to get good results using spray-on resist? Should I
just cop the extra cost of pre-coated PCBs?

Cheers
David
