You should have developed the image with sodium hydroxide solution.

I prefer the ready-made developer, but you can try a teaspoon of Caustic Soda in
a pint of water. It's pretty nasty stuff.

Wearing rubber gloves, stick your exposed board in the solution and scoosh it
about - you'll soon see when it's done.

Rinse it and then etch it.
