Subject: [Homebrew_PCBs] Stubborn ferric chloride etching.


  
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?

Try a fish-tank air-pump to aggitate the solution.
