Just got to thinking - In lab work years ago, a standard stirring mechanism was a motor (variable speed) driven magnet base for a liquid container (read: etchant tank) with a Teflon encapsulated magnet just dropped into the tank. The base magnet would spin the teflon encapsulated magnet inside, stirring the liquid. Higher speeds could generate a full whirlpool in a 8-10" deep flask. I'd bet that the magnet s are still a common lab item - and should be cheap. The only etchant contact would be teflon. Might be an etchant agitator for PCB work. Norm
