Re: [Homebrew_PCBs] Re: Using Cupric Chloride

CuCl can be regenerated indefinitely and is therefore cheaper.
Also it can be made from chemicals that are even more readily
available than Amonium Persulphate.

There is no reason not to use your Persulphate if you can get it
easily and it works for you.
