Has anyone out there done copper etching with ammonia hydroxide and copper sulfate solution ? I'm interested in learning new ways of making the ammonical etching tank for hobbyist. Currently I have a working etching tank based on this chemistry. The major problem witht his type of etchant is ammonia fumes. The way I solved this was to build a sealed tank and have a slotted opening on the lid for inserting the PCB. When the tank is not in use the slot is sealed with a rubber strip leaving the tank almost air tight. I would like to here what others have done. Adam S
