My traces are pitted and thin in areas, like I'm leaving the board in the etchant to long. I was wondering if I need to tweak my etchant a little. I may try to move up to a laminator soon. Thanks.

If your fine traces are way too thin, then you're overetching.  If the
traces are pitted, especially in ground pour areas, and the traces are
ragged as well, then it's most likely that you are the victim of thin
resist with holes in it.
