Immerse copper board in solution and agitate until etching action is completed.
Ferric Chloride can etch up to a maximum of 100g of copper per liter of solution
(.33 square meters or 3.5 square feet of 1 oz copper clad board). Etching process
can be sped up by heating the solution to a temperature no higher than 55°C
(135°F). If you require further directions for etching or making a printed
circuit board, consult the positive photofabrication process guide available free
from your dealer.
