Thanks Adam,
Sounds like my solution is quite low in copper. If I had realised this I
would have used less acid and made up less etchant. I bought 250g of
copper (II) oxide and based my calcs on the information I found here:
http://www.pacificsun.ca/~robert/pcb/cucl.htmNever mind, the copper level will build up by itself so it does not
really matter. This is only hobby stuff so an extra 5 minutes or so
makes no difference anyway.

>100 g copper(II) oxide (black) = 66g copper
