I use locally produced photoresist (liquid) and striped out after etching by scrubbing.What solder resist do you use? Are you using photoresist as solder resist?

For now I just apply rosin (colophony) dissolved in isopropil alcohol as it helps with soldering too and 10 years old boards seems like new.
But I do some tests with UV curable solder mask from ebay

and works nice but need at least 10x more laser power to cure.
I tested to slow down motion 10 times but got some strange bubles in paint. Probably related with nitrogen exhaust from paint itself. But if I do it fast and do 10x repeat then harden as should. (I scan same line 10 times and after that advance to next line)
For now with laser I have is just inpractical as it take to long time.
