... Sunlight doesn t affect FeCl or CuCl. Don t let it stay warm unless it s covered well to prevent evaporation. Peroxide etchant stuff may go off quicker

If you have not modified it I expect it has enough power to heat through the thin magazine paper but not enough to work well with the vinyl. Since it does work
