http://www.p-m-services.co.uk/pcb_etch.htm please read at the very bottom. This is not the page i remember, as it doesn't say much about fecl regenerating. But the interesting thing it they use lead or graphite anodes. the sulphuric acid is in my opinion the choice if one wants to make tin masked pcbs. st if you please also have a look at http://www.proplate.com/tin-plating.htm mostly to read this sentence: "Tin and its salts are reported to be non-toxic and non-carcinogenic and are approved for food container and food contact applications. " So i guess I was right that tin electroplating is much safer than tin electroLESS plating.
