Ok so this question is for the die hard diy out there and you must keep an open mind when/if answering.
I have been doing my own PCBs for over 15 years and I have perfected my technique and can get really fine details and smd without issues. I would now like to do solder mask. I have seen plenty of videos out there which use either a UV Curable film or UV Curable Paint and I know that these methods work so I must politely ask you not to refer to such techniques.
It is a known fact that if you spray paint over Vaseline, the paint won't stick. So with this in mind I was thinking of using the same solder paste stencil to paste the pcb with Vaseline. Than proceed to spray paint it with canned spray. Finally when it's dry you just wipe off the paint that did not stick due to the Vaseline. (On you tube this works well for doing crafts so it must work here too)
My real question before I waste time experimenting with this:
Did anyone out there think of this before? Did it work? Will the spray paint still be "flammable" after it dries? Will the spray paint help protect the copper or will it react in some way and corrode it?
Thanks
