What ratio of the 12% hydrogen peroxide to acid do you use?  How long does a typical etch of one ounce copper take?  And how often do you have to “rejuvenate” it?

Thanks,

Mike K5ESS

At Sally Beauty they call their strongest hydrogen peroxide "Salon Care Maximum Lift 40 Volume Clear Developer."

 

FYI, "40 volume" = a 12% hydrogen peroxide solution.

 

It seems to be on sale now for $1.50 a quart = good deal :)

And an idea of the line width  and spacing size?

Boman33:

 

I just walked in from my shop where I just completed another perfect cold toner transfer using

a 2 to 1 ratio of "Top Care iso alcohol 70% to "Equate" nail polish remover, 100% acetone,

from my local Walgreen's emporium.

 

The PC laser image is on  Office One "Business Gloss" 32lb. 92 brilliance (indication of glossy surface) paper.

This paper is  made by HammerMill Paper Co.

 

Next, I will try Office Max "High Gloss" photo paper, which is thicker and much glossier

than the above, but much more expensive.  This stuff works quite well with "Hot Transfer"

technique.
