just mixed the etchant for the new tank - put a small test piece in and it worked WAY faster than the old etchant did.. you could watch it dissolving (no more than 1 minute, probably less). I used HCL diluted to about 10% or a bit less. then i added a bit H2O2, more than usual but from a very old bottle i assumed not very concentrated any more. I did not add any cupric cloride, jsut the plain acid and H2O2. Why is it so fast - with NO GASSING ? i want to keep it that fast when it gets older - now i have the hydrometer and can check the molarity it may be better... i will record this data for future comparision, but i am unsure if it makes any sense to check the density if there is no copper in... thanks for any explanation...
