Today I etched my first board. But there was a problem. I used a stadtler lumocolor 313 permanent, but after 20 minutes in Ferric Clorhidre (100 ml water, 40g Ferric), I saw that the drawed line were being erased (! ) :?
So I took out the board and washed it in clean water. Well.. the board still has lines on it, as well as some copper, and there's continuity almost from any part to another... What happend? Bad pen? Bad mixture?
Should I draw again and take it to ferric for 10 minutes more?...
Should I get another pen (let's say Edding 2000) ?
It seemed easy but don't know what to do now.
Thanks for any help in advance.
