Title: which bottle is which?
Post by: sakobatoneko on March 06, 2008, 04:53:20 PM: well i just came back from buying the etching kit from radioshack but i dont know which bottle to use in step 3 and 4
Quote
Step Three: ETCH

*take the ETCH solution and put it into a dish (only half of the bottle)

*put the PCB in facedown with the design into the solution

*let it stay there for 15-20 min

*take it out

*pour water (take a empty gallon of milk and put water in it) and slowly pour water over the PCB so that the chemical will get off

Step Four: Solution

*take the other bottle labelled SOLUTION and put it into another dish (only put alittle bit) and put the pcb in face down

*turn it around after a minute and take a sponge and scrub at the black ink and it should come off revealing copper underneath

*pour water over the pcb as like before with the ETCH and you're done!

i got these 2 bottles from radio shack pc kit

Post by: anthonyta on April 14, 2008, 06:20:42 PM: does the etchant ever stop working? or will i be able to reuse it forever
Title: Re: which bottle is which?
Post by: cwn723 on April 14, 2008, 06:54:23 PM: you should be able to use it forever, but i would recommend it. use it max of 2-3 times then get a new bottle
