I think I am spoiled,

The first batch of boards I had were of some other substrate and the 
copper pealed off easily.

I can get muriatic acid from the hardware store, so that is easy 
enough.

Hydrogen dioxide... I've seen that on the list before.  Seems I need 
to scan the list for quality and sources.

IIRC, it is not the diluted stuff one buys to put on cuts.

I just check the polls and there is only the poll about a minimum CNC 
machine.

I wonder if we should put together a poll on what method each of us 
use to make boards.
