Adam is correct. Today's chemistry is pretty sophisticated.

Buy the boards pre-coated, or use the sprray from a can. If you really want,
you can get film that you can lamnate yourself.

I do remember there was a Chromate / gelatin mixture used many years ago.
You may still find references to it under screenprinting.
