I'm sorry, I meant that I etch brass sheet, not pcb's (mostly,
anyway). The brass sheet is for parts for miniaturists and the whole
etching thing was more of an exercise in learning another process for
making prototypes for my job (making things for miniaturists). I joined
here more for the etching info, but I've learned plenty about doing
pcb's.

I need to make a small pcb soon, I expect the 1 oz or so copper will
be easier to etch than the .010" brass I did last.
