I gave up on the fancy etching machine and opted for plastic containers and
rubber gloves. I don't make a lot of PCBs and my time is not of much value
right now so I can afford to etch manually.
I just put ferric chloride in a small plastic container and float it in a
larger plastic container of hot water. I like being able to inspect the PCB
during the etching, a gentle 'wipe' with a soft scrub helps move things
along.
I'm just procrastinating on the part to recycle the ferric chloride, most
likely for as long as I have fresh FC in the bottle.
