Thanks Ben.
I read somewhere that the best mix for H2O2 + HCl is:
"20% H2O2 at 35%
20% HCl at 32%
60% water to etch the copper. This needs to be done outside (vapors), the board is etched in 30s"
Would a beauty shop have 35% H2O2?
I also read that some people use a heater to warm up HCl + H202 or CuCl2 etchant just like in case of FeCl3!
Does heating help?
