?? Storing sensitized PCB boads (Negative resist)

?? Storing sensitized PCB boads (Negative resist)

2007-06-04 by lcdpublishing

Hi guys,

Yet another kink in the saga.  I got all the materials for the 
negative photo resist.  I also got the instruction booklet to help 
guide me and it was (is) pretty useful.  However, the one thing that 
seems to be missing is any information on storing the board after you 
apply the photo resist and it dries. 

I would like to apply the resist to a variety of my PCB stock, dry it, 
then store it till it's needed.  THere is nothing in the documentation 
(Or on their website) about storing sensitized boards.  Does anyone 
have any hands on experience doing something similar?

The products are from DATAK - www. philmore-datak.com

The general rule for most photographic material is "keep it cool". Many
people store film in the fridge so probably a good thing to do here.

Ideally store in a light-proof enclosure. I remember when I tried this
years ago I used the black plastic bag and packaging from some printing
paper.
