Copper Cleaner
Bill, I am jumping in here because I am also a believer in using just a copper cleaner, mine is made for cleaning (and polishing) bottom of copper plated pots.
Does really quick work, then just a rinse and a wipe with a paper towel till dry.
The rest of the hi tech is an old steam iron, no problems when using P-N-P, of cause you have to get the temp correct.
For my layout I use ExpressPCB, it is free and fairly intuitive, so it is easy to learn.
Great job Mark!

As to etching, the most important step is preparation: clean the board. I used comet cleanser, and made sure to rinse it throughly.

If you don't mind me asking, what program do you use to layout your boards?
