I use Edinburgh etch in my heated bubble tank, <http://www.megauk.com/pcb_processing_tanks.php> they doa hobby version too, < http://www.megauk.com/hobby_equipment.php>

The etch seems tospeed up the more you use it and the older it gets.
I was given the tank with its faulty control system (it had been etched as well). I built a newone in an IP67 box with electronic temp control.

Here's a guy whose rejuvenation chemistry has allowed him to use the same ferric chloride etchant for four years (watch that chlorine gas, though):

BTW, has anyone ever tried this (add citric acid to etchant)?:
