sorry for the late response arggg yahoo groups mail delivery!!
no, I mix 200g up in the spray gun and it last me over 6 months. >Just asking...that UV paint has a "short" shelf life, doesn't it
Its properties seem to change a little bit, every now and then I have to adjust exposure time up or down by 2 minutes.
>Firstly, that hemanaged to dry it before UV curing.
The trick is thin code (but still think enough that you can barley see throw the board) and dry it in a controlled temperature environment. Tosters do not work. The paint will start curing when you heat it up too much and the point between dry enough to apply the mask and curing is very close ~5-10deg C
(105-115deg it starts to cure, higher and it's all crap) when the color tone changes slightly its junk
(105-115deg it starts to cure, higher and it's all crap) when the color tone changes slightly its junk
Also I just dry the pain enough to apply the mask, it is a little bit sticky but the mask can be moved a little bit, and the paint does stick a little to the mask after curing so masks are one time use only.
>And I"baked" it in the oven at 180 degrees C for about 20 minutes and it "dried" ok, soft but tack-free.
No!!! way to hot. 105deg C 30 minutes, 115deg and I get crappy results. And index the mask when the board is just a little tacky
