Re: [Homebrew_PCBs] Plating thru holes... electroplating question....

Aside from Thinktink is there anywhere else to get dry film resist?  I don't want to get a huge quantity until I've tried it out first....

You must laminate dry film resist, it tents the holes.
TT and THP could perhaps be done by plating tin as resist over the copper,
