Homebrew PCBs

I'm lazy, rather than setup an air bubbler system, each time I etch I 
just chuck in a capful of 35% peroxide and give it a stir. 

Typical 5x5 cm double sided board etches in about 5 minutes, board 
vertical in the "tank", just manually moved back and forth gently.

Have never measured the etchant in any way other than "yep that looks 
about the right shade of green".
