    If you really want good results with etching, I would suggest
    getting a resist called ImagOn. I ordered it from Daniel Smith, an
    art firm in Seattle WA. The process takes a while but the results are
    the best I have ever used. Check the process first because it must be
    precise. I use box with a black light for exposure but you can use
    sunlight if you make tests.   Go to: www.danielsmith.com  or right to
    the catalog page for ImagOn:

    Ferric Chloride is the best for etching copper.
