Hi all,

I would just like to ask where can buy the spray
photoresist. I have been searching the web for quite
some time and i can't find a web site that sells it.

Thank you.

Believe GC Electronics makes some still. Go to GC/Waldom Dist.
locator list. http://www.gcwaldom.com/locator.html Mouser
www.mouser.com is a Dist. but don't think that they stock this
product anymore.

Electrolube used to make an aerosol resist, but I just checked their web
site and couldn't find it:

http://www.electrolube.com/

They changed the stuff a couple of years ago and the new formulation doesn't
work very wel;, perhaps they have withdrawn it as a result.

It works ok for me. Cleaning the copper of oil and preservative
is the most important step.

I coat 112 doublesided 6X9 boards with 1 100ft roll of negative laminate film. Costs about $100 per roil including shipping, I get boards for $2.25 , so to me - a coated board costs $3.15 each, Factor in the laminator (which should be a natural upgrade path for those switching from TT) with say a life of 10,000 boards @$0.03 each, A bottle of denatured alcohol, a spray bottle, a squeegee, and a razor knife. Still way under $4.00 a board.

The processing chems are cheap too.
A Tub of developer is $6.00 (sodium bicarbonate from pool supply - enough for 2000 boards) and stripper is $4.00 (red devil lye - enough for about 100 boards)

My question is what are the things one looks for in a photo resist ?

dyed ?
positive ?
cost ? availability ?

What is available in the States at a reasonable cost ? and is that
better then buying pre-coated boards ?

Dave

There was a gentleman on here that offered me coated boards last
year, but never offered prices.

I am still mechanically etching, but after seeing that T-Tech go on E-
bay for $$$$ I may sell mine and buy Ballendos unit.
