Photo Resist Preparation - thanks for the suggestions
Hello, Thanks to all who provided suggestions on how to eliminate or get rid of air bubbles between the photo resist and PCB. ? ?Already from the initial look at some of the suggestions I'm finding additional information of how I can improve my application of using the photo resist technique to make printed circuit boards.? Look forward to reviewing all of the suggested material. Again, thanks for all the good suggestions and sharing your experience. ?? V/R, ?? Mike, K4GMH -- Mike, K4GMH |
A friend of mine uses cosmetic cotton pads(get them at your local dollar store)? to apply Kodak Photoresist (KPR). When it is dry he places the unexposed boards in an old phone book for storage and pulls one out (all under a yellow safe light) when he needs one. He has used this method for decades.

Is kpr a negative resist?? Or positive resist?

Negative resist. You use it with a negative. A bottle will?last a lifetime. I think it is made by Transene now. Sam Reaves

开云体育Short wave sensitive.? Unshielded mercury vapor arcs.? Expose through negatives where the trace is transparent, background is opaque.? Develop in the appropriate developer and then put the dye on.? That'll show you where the resist really is.? Cover holes (if any) with something opaque, then etch.? It'll withstand ferric chloride, although I'd recommend CuCl etchant (hydrochloric acid and hydrogen peroxide to start with) because it's FAR cheaper, better behaved, and works as well. Once etched, strip off resist or solder through depending on whether or not you want tin-lead plating.? I never had access to tin lead plating when I was using KPR. All of my boards then were using crepe paper tape, 2x photo masters, an 8x10 view camera shooting on kodalith, (use kodalith developer!? Dektol gives? you gray scale), and then contact printing.
