Subject: RE: [Homebrew_PCBs] Soldermask?

From: "Robert Ussery" <uavscience@...>

I need surface mount solder masking. I've had some trouble with solder
bridges under the part because of running traces and vias underneath parts
on crowded boards.
Plus, if I mixed in some dye, it would look purty. :O)
