i have taylor-made a vertical tank to fit it.
i also have a big test tube where it fits perfectly.

But is can now stay in the tank permanently.

I have choosen to use a "clamp" pcb holder after all,
it is operated with one hand and can hold all pcb thicknesses...

i think it were the more carbon black brushes, there are some that
are shimmering slightly yellow/red. but you may be right.

well i guess the carbon power should not disturb the etching process at 
all?

have to leave now....
