Subject: RE: [Homebrew_PCBs] Creating a professional looking solder stopp mask

From: "Marty Grove" <MartyGrove@...>

Hello Markus.



I’ll take a look and see what all is needed for this and post something
a.s.a.p.



I thought id’ make a quick point to let everyone know that an excellent
place to find various PCB equipment (used, but often in excellent
functioning condition) is DoveBid http://www.dovebid.com/



This is an auction house. Many circuit board shops have been closing over
the past couple of years (do to many factors), and just about every one of
them auctions their items off through DoveBid. I’ve been to a few of the
auctions, and I can tell you that all of the stuff is going for pennies on
the dollar. With this in mind, this might be a good place to gather the
items you need for solder masking (as well as any items for home etching).
