Homebrew PCBs

I was wondering if I could get two or three people to test some
photoresist film for me.  I acquired a roll of Aqua Mer PR120 photoresist
film at an auction with the intent of parting it out in smaller quantities
to hobbyists on Ebay.  I'll give you a 2' by 2' sheet of this stuff free,
but here's the catch.  I want you to immediately try it out, write up a
review, and send me a pcb with a test pattern on it.

Things to know: Aqua Mer PR120 is a negative-acting UV-curing photoresist
that can be applied with a laminator.  Recommended developer is a 0.85%
solution of anhydrous potassium carbonate or sodium carbonate monohydrate.
I've put the data sheet at http://www.cs.csubak.edu/~dgriffi/00654.pdf.

I can't access that file, I get a timeout every time.

I might be interested in trying the stuff, I've just checked that the
Pulsonix software I use can generate negative output to a Windows
printer - it can. The laminator might be a problem, but I should be
able to find someone who has one.

As another poster noted, access the datasheet isn't working for me 
either. I was wondering, though, if a laminator is required to apply 
it. If it can be applied with an iron, I'd like to give it a try but 
if it can't, I wouldn't be able to use it.

Well, that's a big DUH on my part. I didn't even notice that it was 
there.

Works for me allright, your web must be broken.

Give me a shout if you need the file per OL mail.

Looks like the web gremlins here bit Leon.  I've uploaded the pdf to the
list as aquamer_pr.pdf.

I don't know if an iron willl work or not.  If you're willing to give
it a try, I'll toss you some film.

Gives me a "site not found". Been having trouble with
some other European sites lately, so maybe it's
something with the routing.
