Michael's "Green Film" provokes thought

2013-01-01 by alan00463

This Youtube video is labeled
"professional-looking stopping agent (solder resist layer)"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VNYIVZgbi9M

I just watched Michael's Youtube video of solder resist layer, and 
thought I'd ask if anybody here had tried it.    The result looks
quite good in the video.

Green film has glossy side & matte side (1/2 way through video)

Does anybody have experience using this green film?

I don't understand why the green film is transparent ONLY over the undrilled holes, as shown in the video at around 15:30.   I must 
have missed something.

Does anybody know where I can get this film in the USA?

Does anybody know if this stopping agent layer will work with the toner transfer etching method, as opposed to the UV-photo-etching method shown in the video ?     

Am a little disappointed it doesn't put component silhouettes in the green film, but I guess  a white film would be better for that anyway.
