Re: Uh-oh, painted myself into a corner with my etching tank..

2005-09-08 by Phil

I attached my bubbler hose to the heater via wire ties so it comes out
when the etching is done.  I did it mainly to keep my bubbler where I
wanted it.  When i was using CuCl, it would siphon quite readily.  I
think it has a much higher capillary action that the others.  Almost
like a mind of its own.
