[sdiy] Photosensitive PCB's

[Michael Schulze]

I'ma having a hard time getting the photo sensitive pcb process to work.
I've sprayed my own boards and exposed them with negative art.  When I etch
there seems to be not enough contrast between light and dark, so the traces
are not clearly defined.  By the time I can see the fiberglass in between
the traces the traces are half gone too.

Maybe I am spraying too much coating on???

I've ordered the positive boards to see if that is easier.

Any suggestions on suitable light sources for positive vs. negative boards?
Seems sunlight is too unpredictable - 4 minutes of noon sun in Ohio is not
the same as 4 minutes of noon sun in Florida!
