This effectively acts as a barrier between the PCB and etchant. The answer is to agitate the PCB or as mentioned, use something like a paint brush. Also mentioned is highter temperatures which usually speeds up chemical reactions - sometimes to a mad gallop. :-) > > > > Peter > > Shetland Islands. > > > > [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] > > >
