Yep, biggest problem I've had with etching in a flat pan is that no
matter what you use or how hot you get it, etched copper and used
acid builds up in a layer and slows the etching process. Minor
swishing back and forth just means that the edges etch but not the
center.
So no matter what I use, I want to use a vertical tank, probably
with a bubbler to keep it moving.
