Save it and use it as a starter for a CuCl2 etch. Add
a few drops of H2O2 for every use and keep it in an
airtight container as long as there's excess acid in
it. It will become a bit greener every time you use
it. Once it's a deep green start maintaining it as
CuCl2.
If at some point it seems too slow and dilute
evaporate it in a shallow tray in the sun for a couple
of days, that's what I did and it worked a treat. If
you don't do many boards just feed it any old scrap
copper. It is a bit of a job getting it started this
way but once you have the hang of it you won't regret
it.
