I found it not so fast. I etched a 5" x 10" 1-sided board (consisting 
of several duplicate small circuits) and it took almost an hour. I 
started with a fresh batch, just enough etchant to cover the board 
but added more as time dragged on.

Maybe my mix is wrong? I'm using 15 percent hcl (muriatic acid) and 3 
percent h2o2 at a mix of 1:1.

What mix are you using?

Thanks,
Dave
