What process do you use for the photo-etch technique? I searched the web and found that UV is the conventional way to develop the resist but was looking through my Jameco catalog yesterday and they offer a positive photo-etch package from Datak that is supposed to only need a 100-watt incandescent to develop the resist.. Has anyone used this product before and if so, what were your results? Cheers, Bryan
