at room temperature (not freezing, of course) shouldn't take more than one
minute or two per half board if you 'wipe' it gently with a soft brush or tap
it with a (home made jumbo) cotton swab during etching.
the trick is to remove the 'used' etchant off the surface of the board
mechanically. no bubbles, no heating, no over etching, and you can see what you
are doing while you hold the board partially out of the bath.
with this method you actually can watch the copper disappear...
