Re: [Homebrew_PCBs] AQ3000 Waterborne Photoresist questions

2009-12-03 by Robert Blumer

Larry,
I used Kodak AZ111  a long time ago, not available now  but  I used  an 
old 78  rpm  turntable and use an 
eye dropper to place it on the spinning pcb blank.
to get a very even coat.
Not sure this will help with your photo resist or not.
