    You should be able to get many etches out of one batch of ferric. 
    Ferric chloride breaks down in air.  Make sure that after each batch,
    that you pour the ferric back into the bottle and shut it tightly. 
    Instead of Radio Shack, try an electronic/computer parts store that
    doesn't sell cell phones, just parts.  They will probably have a
    better grade of ferric than Radio Shack.
