Subject: Adapting solder resist application to TT method

From: alan00463@...

I ran across a couple of youtube videos showing a 3-ply green film being applied to a board to make the solder resist layer:

I use the toner transfer method to etch 0.0625" thick copper boards.
Am wondering if I could use this stuff on my boards if I am not set up for photoetching.

Does anybody know if (1) this 3-ply green film is sold in the USA and if yes, what it is called and by whom?

(2) Can I still use this stuff on my boards if I am doing TT rather than photo-etching for laying out my pads/traces?    If yes, how ?

If I am going down the wrong path, please say so.

Thanks,

Allan
