Re: [Homebrew_PCBs] Re: Heater for Etchant Bath

My bottle of muriactic acid is at least 10 years old.
I only use about a shot glass of the stuff each time I etch boards.
I think thats about  50 ml.... so a 950ml bottle will etch 19 batches......
and a bottle costs $5 at the local hardware store......
so I don't think I will be using ferric chloride ever again.
