Probably depends on your latitude to some extent, James but 6 minutes
might be too short an exposure.
I have used the method a couple of times but it is very hit or miss. For
example, a cloud can drift over and greatly reduce the amount of UV
light available, even on a bright day. Actually on my last attempt, one
of the family cats decided that the exposing pcb would be a good place
to take a nap, totally ruining the exposure.
At my latitude, around 41 degrees South, I was using times more like 15
minutes, from memory.
