I am new to the HCL and H2O2. Replace that with ferric chloride and I think you will find a lot of people here doing PCBs that way. So you bought the right stuff.
I am nervous about the muriatic acid now. Went online to see about clean the concrete with it, and it etchs the concrete. Bad fumes, it hits empty glass or water want to blow back on you.. I will try it once and get rid of it. $4 a bottle from Radio Shack sounds safter.
