Hi Simao,Stephan,
Thanks for your help.
I no longer use dichromated resist because of environmental issues. I tried to get liquid resist from the e-bay seller but couldn't get it. They said there will be a week delay and silence. It is like a ghost company. I canceled my order and got dry film from think&tinker.
It seems peroxy-sulfuric etcher won't etch tin etch resist and it is possible to obtain stabilizer from think&tinker in low volume.

Maybe its better to use dip coating of LPI resists filling the holes.
You referred an homebrew resist off PVA and dichromate, other is acrylic
resin and benzophenone (same thing used in dry films) an US based ebay
seller had 50 Lb of this chemical to sell recently.
If you are using real tin electroplating, you may look to Adam Seychell
work with Ammonium Chloride etchant.
Not ammonium based, the only things i know off as tin resist compatible
etchants are us patents 4144119/4378270 and 4632727.
