Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure optimal results, follow these handling protocols:
- Storage: Always keep the boards stored in the provided light-tight packaging. Exposure to ambient light will degrade the photo resist over time.
- Preparation: Clean the working environment to prevent dust from settling on the board surface before exposure.
- Exposure: Place your circuit mask tightly against the resist-coated side and expose it to a UV light source according to your specific lamp's specifications.
- Development: Immerse the board in an appropriate developer solution until the circuit pattern is clearly visible.
- Etching: Use an etching agent like ferric chloride or sodium persulfate to remove the unwanted copper, then rinse thoroughly with water.
