I've used similar formula before. It is chromate based and not environmental friendly. Because of that I started to use dry-film resist. Chromate based resists are proven and you can get very high resolutions.
Note: Check Message #26532 or search "Photo Resist Gelatin Bicromate Process" in the group archive.

Hi All
I posted an interesting patent on a photo resist process. The patent describes applying a non-sensitized (very simple) polymer coating to the pwb, drying and storing. When needed, the board is sensitized by spraying it with the photo-initiator, drying and exposing.
The developer is water, the stripper is caustic.
Anyone have any experience with or used this ?
Comments from the chemists among us on the usefulness of this info would be much appreciated.
