I've been using Ferric Chloride for years now and it serves my purposes well. If you look at the method I use at http://www.picnpoke.com/projects/pcb.html, you will find that the solution lasts a long time with excellent results. I've been using the same batch for years. I don't know if it's recylable, but all I know is, when it turns green, it's dead. -- Best regards Tony http://www.picnpoke.com Email sales@picnpoke.com
