Hello all been a long time since i posted really enjoy learning from you all. A few years back when I wrote magazine articles for hobby contruction I had to supply pc boards some of which I made myself. I used a negative resist like kpr. I had a negative exposure frame with a sheet of window glass and used a piece of small bubble wrap above the film to apply even presure on the coated board and film. some times it would not wash off clean with a thin film of resist remaining. I was exposing with sunlight long story short the heat from the sun or (sunlamp was tried also) fogging the resist. after much experimenting I exposed the board below a bug zapper for 4 min. with great sucsess the solvent developer yielding a clean, ready to etch immage. lesson learned don't expose to too much temp. I would coat the board with a foam brush and leave the coated in a shoebox to dry horiz. over night dust free. I have a lot copper clad on hand mostly fr-4 various thicknesses thought about sell it on ebay. don't think I will return to writing hobby project articles anymore the magazines don't exist that I contracted with. So those that need some clad pieces contact me
