For best results, follow the procedure below. If further directions for etching or making a printed circuit board (PCB), consult the photofabrication process guide available free from your dealer.
- Fully immerse copper board in solution.
- Agitate until etching action is complete.
To speed up etching :Warm the ferric chloride solution between 35 to 55 °C [95 to 131 °F].
Attention !
Do NOT heat ferric chloride solution above 55 °C [131 °F].
Note :Dilution is not recommended.
