Abstract

Water spotting which occurs during rinsing of an electrodeposited photosensitive resist composition on a copper layer of a printed circuit board is reduced by applying an aqueous solution containing a surfactant. The surfactant is preferably a salt of an acylated polypeptide which is solid at ambient room temperature and forms a thin uniform film when the solution is dried.
