    I don't know if that formula is correct I am curious if it is?  What are the
benifits of using that vs ammonium persulfate, that is what I am using in this
youtube video... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=trnvlrVq6P0%c2%a0and it works fine. 

Please let me know. 
Tom

FR-4 doesnt have to be green colored? Correct ?

Other question .. for making etchant ..
I saw 2 parts peroxide to one part muriatic acid ( 34% hydrochloric acid )
and I saw 3 to mix as well ..
Is it crucial ? I mean I guess the only thing that it would change is the
etching
times .. and the fumes LOL .. ??
