Homebrew PCBs

I would try starch and potassium bichromate on the board. Chromate are 
hexivalent. If you need to make it stick a little geletain. Keep it out 
of green light and shorter wave lengths. And use the not so nasty stuff 
in the pinter.

Bichromates were used for years as the photo active agent for making 
circuit broads. Potassium Bichromate in geletan exposed to UV will 
harden and the rest can be washed off and then etched. You are looking 
for something to take the place of light. It only needs to catalyze the 
binding of the hexivalent Chromium to the binder on the broad.
