etching methods

2002-05-25 by Randy Knutson

Greetings!

I have a question for everyone concerning the "wet method" of printed circuit boards. I was wondering what other types of etchants are available besides your basic ferric chloride, and sodium persulphate? I remember a while ago someone mentioned the use of sodium persulphate catalyzed with either hydrochloric acid or sulfuric acid. What does this mean and how can I do it? Basically I think it would be very interesting to experiment with high speed etching methods! 

Thanks!
