This is actually cupric chloride etching. Once you have the etchant
started you don't even need the H2O2. Just bubbling air though it for a
couple of hours does the trick. Do a google search for cupric chloride
etchant.
I use it and it works well. It does not stain like FeCl and doesn't
smell as bad either. The down sides are that it takes slightly longer to
etch and the etchant will only do a couple of boards before it needs
regenerating by bubbling air through it or adding H2O2.
