Subject: Re: Cool temperature affects of Muriatic Acid and Peroxide

Update...It finished at 11:00. Barely any copper came off in the
first 30 minutes, but then the etching made noticeable progress. It
must be the cool temperature. By the way, the crock pot that I am
thinking about using is a crock pot that I use for cleaning model
airplane engines, not making a yankee pot roast.
