Hello Group,

I've been following this discussion with interest and would like to move
away from etching pcb's with ferric chloride.
I live in the UK and wonder if anyone knows of a supplier of the muriatic
acid and hydrogen peroxide to home users. My local chemist was no help at
all and didn't have a clue.
Any help greatly appreciated!

Hydrochloric acid is often called Spirts of Salts, and is often available
in ironmongers. Chemists sell H2O2, but it isn't really strong enough. It
does work, though.
