pump for spray etching

2003-09-30 by Adam Seychell

Anyone here every built a spray etcher ?
I'm looking at building a spray etcher on the cheap, but I cannot 
find a suitable pump. Pressure requirements are fairly high for 
sprays nozzles to work effectively. The pump must be capable of 
at least 10 meter head (1 bar), but all low cost fountain pumps 
are rated no more than 4 meters head. Getting hold of a pump is 
the killer. Example, the Iwaki MD-70RZ has 16 meter head but 
sells for AU$500. The etchant I'm using won't effect stainless steel.
