Hello again, When a manufacturer makes a printed circuit board, they first etch the copper coating then they remove the copper as needed (or not needed) then apply the components, then thro a solder wave or similar and then they spray it with a green material to protect the copper and make it look nicer. What I would like to know is what is the green material called. I thought it was a conformal coating but I can't find it in green. I would like to purchase some because I thought it would improve the looks of some of the boards I work on.
