Re: [Homebrew_PCBs] Length of sunlight exposure of photosensitive boards

One very important aspect is how you make the negative?  I am using Vellum 
drafting film trade name is  "Clearprint" or "Dietzen" brand.  I am curious what 
otheres might be using to make there negatives with?

It depends where you are, to some extent. I think it takes a lot longer 
than that.

Make yourself a UV exposure unit like this one of mine:

It'll work a lot better.
