Where do you live? What country, I mean.

Etch resist pens are just those permanent laundry
marking pens.

You can also get sheets of rub-on shapes of PCB traces
and IC pin patterns. They work just fine directly on
the copper as etch resist.

I'm in the USA and there is Radio Shack in almost
every town. You can also order from companies such as
Digikey http://www.digikey.com and Mouser
http://www.mouser.com

Look through some of the past messages for opinions on
different kinds of etchant. Ferric Chloride has its
own set of problems. I don't like it because it is
just way too slow.
