  Developing should only be needed for one side of the process.  Making 
sure to use the pos or neg resist so the printed and UV cured portion is 
the side that stays, then developer shouldn't be needed since there'll 
be no negative side left to remove.  There's UV cure loctite and other 
things to try too.  Worth a try right before paraffin, since that'll 
never come out easily lol..  Of course, this now makes 500,002 things to 
do..

PS I finally got my CNC back up and running for use, likely won't have 
time to document it much until after the convention in late May.  Have 
two sets of boards paid for but not sent in, gotta send something soon 
so may finish off the stepper controller and have 16 boards made up..
