I live in a small largely agricultural country any chemical is difficult to obtain (unless it has a household or agricultural use). I'd like to try hydrochloric acid and hydrogen peroxide as an etchant and I can buy HCl in the hardware store (for cleaning concrete) but H2O2 is a little more difficult $25 / litre for 35% plus hazardous goods freight from 300Km away. Sodium Percarbonate is cheap and readily available as a cleaning agent. In solution Sodium Percarbonate becomes sodium carbonate and hydrogen peroxide. It seems to me that a mixture of hydrochloric acid and sodium percarbonate would end up as hydrochloric acid, hydrogen peroxide, salt and carbon dioxide. Has anyone tried percarbonate in this way as an etchant?
