Smallest traces that I have done is .020", I don't normally have a 
need for anything smaller, but the Board Edge line that I use to cut 
them apart is I believe at .010" but don't know how reliable it would 
be for a circuit trace that small or at that spacing never had to try 
it.  I think that it would be pushing the limits, but could work.  I 
know that I had tried at first .005" for the board edge line and would 
lose about half the line at times in the etching.  However when I did 
the .005" board edge line I was using Black ink, have now found that 
yellow ink works better.  All I can say is to try it.
