I should know already to not step on the long experience off so much of
you in here. You use it better than i did, or most people do. My comment
intention was to point the younger people who in my view should be
buying muriatic acid, peroxide, food container, air pump instead Ferric
Chloride. And where i live all those things can be bought in one place
only and at same price of 1Kg Ferric Chloride in a electronics supply
store.

Not as homebrew, but in a moment of my short life, i also did use more
than 100L of it in 40%, in a spray machine. And although in theory

So instead of saying 'X is better' we should present 2 or 3 options to
everyone always, don't you agree?




Simao,
I agree with you. I know some people feel very strong about what they use
and that is fine with me. I have been making boards since about 1963 and
have a spray etcher but do not use it now. I still make around 30 boards a month
and use nothing but muriatic acid and peroxide Even tho I have a 5 gallon bucket
of Ferric Chloride that I do not use.
So I say to, each his own.
