The prevailing view seems to be that since industry uses photoetching 
then it's far too expensive and too involved for the home. Either that 
or "we must do things differently" prevails. Normally, I don't get 
involved in these TT debates but the insinuation by a poster that one 
needs a $500.00 exposure box for photoetching was too much to resist.
