Hi Eldon, I'm afraid I don't have anything as organized as a website. I am providing this as a service to the homebrew PCB community and really don't want to go into the business of selling it to random buyers since I don't make anything off of the sales, hence the low price. I accept PayPal and am located in NC, for reference. I've had one person buy from me who seemed satisfied and it looks like a couple others are interested now, which is funny since it's been a while since I posted about the availability of the stuff. For anyone who's interested and wants a lot of the stuff (50, 100, 250, or 500-foot rolls) I get mine from Think & Tinker in AZ: http://www.thinktink.com/stack/volumes/voli/store/lamsup.htm They sell the resist, solder mask, and other supplies including roll laminators in bulk quantities. I've always ordered the 100 foot rolls since the price difference between 50 and 100 feet is rather small considering it's twice the amount of material. I would mention that they require "express shipping" for the photoresist since I suppose they don't want complaints about resist that has been exposed to too much heat for too long. I've never really had a problem with it expiring unless it's more than a couple years old, but then I keep mine in the refrigerator (triple-bagged due to the odd smell). I paid about $160 for 100 feet including the 2-day shipping they required (Which was rather expensive), hence my price to you all. I figure we all benefit from the service I provide since it keeps us both supplied with fresh resist and marginally compensates me for the time spent shipping it out. I've never managed to go through a 100-foot roll before and so I figure between a few orders here and there and my own usage it won't go to waste. As the resist ages it tends to become less sensitive and have less contrast, making good artwork more critical. Keeping it refrigerated and sealed helps immensely to keep aging to a minimum.
