Subject: Second PCB attempt - 99% success!

Have the etched board in my hand and its almost a beauty. One small
void in a trace thats about 0.15 wide and a bridge between a pad and
a trace. I think the bridge is because I took the board out a few
seconds too soon. No green apparent in it. I'll soak it a bit longer
after work.The rest looks perfect though, quite a shock to me seeing
as its only the second board!

Does the etching solution harm the resist at all? Wondering how
critical it is to get the board out of the etch at exactly the right
time.
