Think & Tinker www.thinktink.com sells the Dry Film Soldermask, The Soldermask runs about 4 times the price of the Resist I think.

Also Mouser is selling small Qty of the Resist thru M G Chemical.

There is a guy on Ebay that sells cut pieces of the Dry Film Resist, I got some of that to try out the Resist. Will be cheaper than buying the precoated Series 600 M G Chemcial boards that I have been using if I can get a good reliable process down on getting it on the board. I'll try the Wet method first since I don't have a laminator. Should have giving it a try this week while I was off work but still have not gotten around to it.
