  • don't be rude if you can't understand english. he speaks clearly, and shows images of everything required.

  • @MrROTD Because people generally solder to the traces.. you're going to burn or melt plastic/paper substrates. that's why they use copper clad fiberglass boards.

  • why not have conductive ink and print on paper or plastic film? did anyone think of that?

  • Dude no offense but your video sucks. You didn't detail enough the recipe on the use of chemicals. All you did was just a waste of both yours and ours time.

  • I bought some photoresistant(although on their website it says universal) sodium metasilicate from maplin (UK) and i was wondering would it work with this method of etching?

  • @elektronickz This is the cleanest method (15 seconds) much faster than the messy Ferric Chloride (15-20 minutes) and there is no danger if you use it in the open with proper clothing

  • you look like a guy from the BEATLES

  • @elektronickz did you also know that you can make a high explosive with all three together well really you dont need the hcl it will create a high explosive by itself and will go off at the touch if left at room temp for 48 hrs or so and by all three i mean acetone & hcl & hydrogen peroxide boom 5300 m/s

    17,384 ft/s

    3.29 miles per second c4 not much greater but c4 (RDX) has to have a det cap this nooooooooo not good shit to leave around the house TOXIC thats the less of worrys lol

  • Be careful with the above method:

    1. It is highly exothermic.

    2. The output is chlorine gas which is a poisonous gas, and can choke you to death if you keep inhaling it throughout your life.

    3. This process is even more time consuming and messy compared to etching with the old faithful Ferric Chloride.

    4. If you don't take care of yourself while using HCL, it will burn you to death! It is a HIGHLY TOXIC and HIGHLY CORROSIVE TO HUMAN TISSUE.
