Finally we join all four overheads together with self-adhesive tape. We cut the raw doublesided pcb a little bit to big and put doublesided self-adhesive tape on both sides of the pcb and place the pcb with two overheads on each side of the pcb. During the 2 x 7 minute exposure, we cover the pcb side turning up with black cardboard, and voila you have a doublesided pcb.
