I have a roll of DuPont 8140 dry film soldermask if you need some. A
vacuum laminator is the best way to apply this film but I've used a
sheet of thin nylon in a vacuum frame and ironed it on. If you don't
use a vacuum source there will be air bubbles and voids on your board.
I can also supply FR-4 panels with negative acting dry film
photoresist if anyone needs that type of material. It's similar to
what Kepro used to sell.
Contact me off list if there is any interest.
