Re: [Homebrew_PCBs] its me from the etching tank question again!

2004-02-18 by Adam Seychell

You use bigger tank to etch multiple PCB's. You best bet is to go 
to a shop that sells lots of various plastic containers, and 
choose something there. Make sure it has a lid because you don't 
want evaporation or for stuff accidentally falling in the tank. 
Ferric chloride is cheap when buying in bulk. The difficult part 
is making PCB holders and the air bubble system. You will need to 
feed a hair hose into the tank so the lib can remain on when 
etching, Otherwise the bubbles create splashes outside the tank.
