Stubborn ferric chloride etching.

2014-01-09 by <richanny@...>

Using plain hydrated ferric chloride etch, warmed up a little, the last two boards done have been really stubborn to etch away the bridges between narrow tracks and pads. They needed extended time , so much that some narrow tracks just disappeared under the resist, and the boards scrapped.

Any suggestions?

Has anyone had success with an electrolytic technique?
