Re: [Homebrew_PCBs] Etching with vinegar, peroxide and salt

2016-06-20 by Les Newell

Don't get it anywhere near a septic tank. Copper is really good at 
killing bacteria. Mixing it with cement or dry-mix concrete will 
neutralize the acid and tie the copper up in a solid block which can be 
disposed of in the bin. If you keep cement in a well sealed container it 
will last a long time so one bag will last you for ages.
