Application Instructions

Follow the procedure below for best results. If further directions for etching or making a printed circuit board (PCB), consult the photofabrication process guide available free from your dealer.

  • Dilute 250 g per L (2.2 lb per gallon) of ammonium persulfate to water.
  • Fully immerse copper board in solution.
  • (Optional) Agitate until etching action is complete.

To speed up etching

Warm the ammonium persulfate solution to 40 °C [104 °F].

Attention !

Use only glass or plastic containers.
Note :Recommended use of pressure release valve if storing for later use.
