What do you use for the thinner?
I used all my commercial dry-film resist a couple of months ago.
It was atleast 10 years old, and i only stored it at room temperature in
a dark case.
I got problems with the stuff not developing off easily, as if UV was
getting through the black ink or something.
I found that by using 12g/Lt of Na2CO3 developer instead of 10g/Lt, all
the problems went away and the unexposed resist would wash off easily.
I also found that just using a much lower concentration of NaOH stripper
also works well as a developer.
