i still have 3 of this over my box, and they are really a pain in the ass, they dont say it but you need to let the ink dry before you use the mask, you need to apply it really careful to get the right amount, i damaged many boards with that, but if you are using some silk screen to apply it this its perfect, for hand apply its really hard to get good results, im giving some of my solder mask on the PIF section but no-one seems to care, if you want some please tell me.

Hey, I've got a lot as well, thanks.
I think it depends for what you need. If you want for profi use than might be a pain in the butt indeed. I'm using for my pedals and only to protect the board against corrosion and to easier the soldering. One thing u could do is to brush it over the board and cover it with a polyethylene foil, than apply the pads mask on the top of it. If u do it carefully, removing the little air bubbles, might get perfect. If u leave it to dry overnight or for a 30 min in a toaster oven, u can have better results. Always by adding the film on the top, PE does not adhere to the epoxi.
I hope u get the results you want and please let me know how is it going with the new one u are using!
Cheers

Thanks mate but I don't have a laminator and I dont have much space to get diff devices! :(
I agree that the dry is the best but u also need the reactive solutions and a. Nice UV lamp. Maybe one day...

in fact no, you cant use sunlight(i do) its better than my UV lamp, reactive solution its soda ash(you can get it at pool supplies really cheap) and laminator man, this things are for pro use, but with an airon just like you do toner transfer its more than enough, im telling you cos i do it that way
