Subject: Etchant questions

From: "cpexed" <cpexed@...>

Hello,

I am just diving into to PCB design. What etchant do you recommend
for starting out using toner transfer methods. I am not wanting to
buy any hotplates or special tanks just use some old plastic
tupperware.

Also what is the proper way of disposing any used etchant? Are there
places to bring used etchant, neutralizing solutions?
I live in an apartment and dont think it would be a good idea to put
it down the drain :) The neighbors below probably wont appreciate it.
