RE: DIY Soldermask

2013-09-21 by <twgray2007@...>

Don't mistake this for soldermask. It will protect the traces and solderpoints from corrosion and moisture, after all the soldering is completed, but it will not act as a soldermask, in that the heat from the soldering iron evaporates the paint. I got really excited about using this a few years ago, then really disappointed in the outcome.


The best stuff I have found for soldermask is the Dynamask, found on ebay...verrrry expensive, and the UV Curable Ink, also found on ebay...pretty cheap and in several colors.
