Hi Mark
I use 27% H2O2 bought at the pool supply store to rejuvenate my etch. I
use ~7 ml H2O2 27% per ~300 ml of CuC12.
I tried air bubbling and I was not satisfied. If you remember how fast
the original etch solution using 3% H2O2 and 30% HCl , this rejuvenated
solution is equally as fast.
I air bubbled for TWO weeks and the resulting etch was VERY SLOW
compared to the ~7ml of 27% H2O2 rejuvenated etch.
