Re: Experimental method

Exactly. It's a clear, odorless liquid, they called it a "decapant",
the guy who sold it to me said it was "ecological", thus, safe to go
down the drain. Anyway I placed the board in the remover and it was
FAST. Curiously it didn't affect a little black marker I placed for a
touch up, which had to be removed with alcohol. The decapant had
something of a chlorine smell when I put the board. It seems to attack
the copper (it's called a decapant anyway) because it dulled it a
little, so I'd try to be quick about it.
