Homebrew PCBs

Hi Kent,

Don't us homebrewers already have the equivalent of an UV curing ink 
with the correct wetting out and resist properties? I'm suggesting 
the use of the coating that is applied to sensitize pc boards as the 
ink.

Its designed to wet out the copper surface and adhere well. After 
printing just "expose" the board and etch.

Seems like it would be worth a try.
