> For _small_ quantities, specially buying a microwave seems a bit OTT. There is no way I'll be 'cooking' FeCl in anything that will ever see food again. So a dedicted microwave would be the only way to heat etchant in small quantities. The other item that has become pretty obvious that in my environment doing board in the kitchen sink just doesn't work too well. No matter how careful, there is always the possibility that something spills. I'd rather not have any poison near my food preparing areas, period. Looking at building an etch tank, from a cost perspective it is equal to getting a small microwave. Having etched board in a ammonium persulfate bubble bath many moons ago, I know it does work well. I never tried the sponge method yet, but read it is supposed to be excellent. Problem is, I don't have the confidence to play with FeCl in my stainless steel kitchen sink... Adi
