copper phot etch

make a plexi-glass container. Use acetone to seal it together install a small aquarium bubbler and make it to where you have a place to slide another piece of plexi into it that you tape the copper on. Use the press n peel -copy your image on it and apply positive or negative. You can get the chemical at Radio Shack. You should get a good bite. The longer it stays in the better the bite. I took a class from Gretchen Goss on enameling. She had a huge etching container that she had made with a larger bubbler. The process works well. The items to be etched should be vertical not horizontal
