I see I have a very great benifit in making small boards..  I use a "Baby Food" Glass jar,  etch my little board, put the cap back on wipe off the outside, and put it back in the cupboard for the next time..   I only use two tablespoons of fluid, and I use it over and over..

But it's nice watching all you fellows, coming up with a better way..

Cheers.

  For a product with "professional" in the title, that website reads like it was written by a 12 year old. 

  IMO a bubble tank works really well, is cheap, easy to make, I really have few complaints.

  For my bubbler I bought a piece of small acrylic tube, it was under a dollar for a whole piece. I used a heat gun to soften the tip and then squished it to seal, then I used a PCB drill bit to drill a number of tiny holes down the length and lastly heated with a heat gun and bent into an L shape so the part with the holes lays across the bottom of the tank. It was cheap, easy to make, and works pretty well.
