     I'm sorry, I meant that I etch brass sheet, not pcb's (mostly, 
anyway). The brass sheet is for parts for miniaturists and the whole 
etching thing was more of an exercise in learning another process for 
making prototypes for my job (making things for miniaturists). I joined 
here more for the etching info, but I've learned plenty about doing 
pcb's. 

     I need to make a small pcb soon, I expect the 1 oz or so copper will 
be easier to etch than the .010" brass I did last.
