Anyone here have any experience with adding photoresist yourself? I have a few copper clad boards with no resist on them and I'd like to maybe add some myself.
Even going farther I was wondering how difficult it would even be to make the copper clad board itself? Copper is pretty cheap... just a few pennies and I'm not sure about the prepreg but I'm sure for prototyping one could probably using just about anything? (hell maybe even cardboard?) I imagine it might be difficult to get decent results but maybe its not all that difficult? (either by copper sheets or melt some copper and roll them yourself? (I don't actually mean roll them)) I know everyone is going to say its better to buy, but I at 20 bucks a pop for double sides it seems to expensive for prototyping or making small quantities of circuits that don't need the high quality insulative material(Which I imagine can probably still be done DIT even cheaper than buying(although I'm not taking into account labor)).
(Main point here is not that I will probably actually end up doing it myself but just curious if anyone has tried)
Thanks, Jon
