Thanks to the group for all the past advice given on PCB
drafting software & UV exposure boxes, it's all being put to good use.

In the past I've used ferric chloride professionally as my
etchant (and left disposal of the etching solution to the work's
chemist) but now I'm doing things for myself safe disposal is going to
be my problem, searching on the web for an answer ammonium and sodium
persulphate come up as a suitable alternatives but not ones I've used.
Does anyone have experience of using persulphates as a D-I-Y PCB etchant
? Are they as good as ferric chloride, are there any problems with using
them & how easy is it to dispose of the spent solution ?
