If you use it and use bubble agitation, keep it stored for next time, and top up 
with a bit of HCl hydrochloric or muriatic acid next time it's used. It'll 
convert to copper chloride etchant and last many dozens of uses, like years 
worth. I have mine diluted 1:1 with water which works well. Keep the container 
covered when not in use, to prevent HCl vapour from making things rust.
