At 20% concentration of HCL and 3% (standard over the counter
pharmacy) H2O2 you should have a ratio of ~1:3 by weight (volume is
about the same). So you would need 3 times as much H2O2 to HCL. The
board should have etched within a few minutes.
I wrote a calculator a while ago for Cupric Chloride ratios.
http://www.totse2.com/easy-e/cupricchloride.html It's a bit on the
confusing side and I plan to re-write it eventually but I hope it's
helpful to some people.
I've never tried The Works because I use regular HCL I bought from a
pool supply store. I have more than enough to last me thousands of
boards.
