I Tried that first.
Lightly blasted the copper then cleaned it
Then did the copper, resin, fiberglass glass, copper, sandwich
Laid it all between two pieces of plate glass and put about 50 lbs of
weight on top.. the copper peeled right off with my finger nails after
etching.
I even tried it with the resin again as someone else mentioned by
using the echant to prep the surface. this time I didnt even bother
etching.. just tested it and peeled off just as easily.
Also tried using the powder coat itself, since it seems to stick to
just about any clean surface when melted, It stuck to both the copper
as well as the board very well, but had no strenth
