I think you better first know if you can achieve high enough ratio of S2O8/SO4 using such an etch tank configuration. Remember, you are competing with electrolysis of water. Expect electrolysis efficiency to go through the floor without any S2O8 salt isolation. > I really want metallic resist because dry film covering the holes gives > much work and don't has the enough successful rate. You may find as I eventually did after several years of home PTH plating, that the additional complexity of operating and maintaining a metal plating resist tank (acid tin sulphate or tin/lead fluroborates ) far out ways the minor problems with hole tenting. You just have shape up on your drilling skills a little more. There is also other problems that come with hobby pattern plating PCBs, such as copper surface residues after photoresist developing, use of complex controlled alkaline etchants and tin metal attack in NaOH photoresist strippers. Best of luck. Adam.
