Homebrew PCBs

Forgot to mention.

here is what mine looked like.

The color you see is the result after about 1 hour of mixing with a small piece of coper
bubbling the entire time. I used no heat. Im in Florida the ambient temp is quite hot as it is.
I tried heat on previous times the results ere the same.
I will add as time goes on the mixture will become a darker shade of green.
I hope this helps.

I heated to about 40 C and placed a PCB in just to test and after about 25 minutes it had just started to turn pink from etching.  The volume was at about 1/2 gallon and to this I added about 1/2 cup of HCL and left the board in for another 30 minutes with little change.
