Re: [Homebrew_PCBs] Cupric Chloride and Stainless Steel

2003-03-07 by Adam Seychell

Yes it will, but probably not fast as Ferric Chloride. I once had 
a stainless teaspoon sitting in a beaker containing cupric 
chloride etching and it etched a good part of it away over a few 
days. When its long term you need good chemical resistant 
materials. Are you close by to any titanium screw suppliers? :)

You could try coating the screw and its surrounding with a 
solvent based contact adhesive.
