I prefer the cucl be made with dilute hcl and scap copper and hyrogen peroxide 3% from the drug store. start off slow speeds up as th copper ions make a green solution if the ecthant turns muddy color from use the peroxide returns it to bright green . air bubbles cause splatter and cool the solution. i didnt have any luck with air bubbles converting from muddy to bright green , peroxide is instant. in an australia electronics mag. it was sugested to attach a carbon rod with insulated wire ot the etching board and place in contact with the solution claimed to increase the speed of etch. i havent tried it out yet . what if using a battery the pc board positive and scap copper negative rejuvinating the etchant as you etch your board. a hygrometer is a weight in a tube of air with a calibrated scale submerged partly maybe you can inprovise something. just some comments to stimulate experimentation thanks luther
