Re: horizontal etch - bottom side way faster

2004-04-08 by rmustakos

I'm  thinking about the same, and I remember seeing plastic letter
and/or legal file containers that had snap on/off hinged lids, maybe
Orffice Despot.  If I recall, they were maybe 12x10x2 inches, with the
lid being 12x2.  I was thinking about getting a bigger container that
would hold an appropriate number of those side by side, as well a
heater, pump and power supply (kind of like Markus' PTH setup, with
space to expand to plating later).  If I have to go chemical, the hcl
etch used to feed the plating solution, with minimal effluent
(described at think & tink, I think ;) ) seemed like a good, green way
to go.
Is there any particular type of plastic I should look for, or try and
avoid, either for any of the etchants, or for plating?
Thanks
Richard
