Homebrew PCBs

i have tryed the regular ink, its got alcohal and
glycerine added to water and color pigments. the ink
dont dry enough to make it water resistant. glycerine
doesnt set up or dry out, even tryed to bake it. the
boiling point is somewhere around 500 deg f. would
ruin the board. just my 2 cents. am looking at acrylic
black paint mixed with  windex and a touch of glycol.
(glycol to keep the jet holes from drying out and
stopping up.)THERE HAS TO BE A BETTER WAY.
