Probably depends on your latitude to some extent, James but 6 minutes might be too short an exposure. I have used the method a couple of times but it is very hit or miss. For example, a cloud can drift over and greatly reduce the amount of UV light available, even on a bright day. Actually on my last attempt, one of the family cats decided that the exposing pcb would be a good place to take a nap, totally ruining the exposure. At my latitude, around 41 degrees South, I was using times more like 15 minutes, from memory.

Does anyone out there have experience with exposing a photosensitive board through a negative to sunlight? A man at Injectorall told me that about six minutes at noon on a bright sunny day but that doesn't seem to work. > > > ------------------------------------ > > Be sure to visit the group home and check for new Links, Files, and Photos: > http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Homebrew_PCBsYahoo!
