This instruction is about how to apply solder mask to PCBs. It is assumes you already have traces on a PCB (regardless of etched or milled) but **no holes yet**, like <imgref etchedpcb>. | This instruction is about how to apply solder mask to PCBs.

- | You also need [[pcbuvmasks|artwork]] (black printout to transparent foil) containing only pads and vias. You can achieve this by selecting "tStop" (layer 29) or "bStop" (layer 30) for top and bottom respectively. | + | You also need [[pcbuvmasks|artwork]] (black printout to transparent foil) containing only pads and vias.

The room you are working in has to been protected from of UV lights, e.g. use 05 EG 027. It has special lamps and no windows (avoiding sunlight). | The room you are working in has to been protected from of UV lights, e.g. use 05 EG 027. It has special lamps and no windows (avoiding sunlight). | ||
