    If you are not etching your copper upside down, give it a try. In an
    Arrowmont workshop (sorry, can't remember which one) we taped
    masking tape to the back side and laid the piece on fiber scrubbies
    (supermarket) in Pyrex dishes. The sludge that forms can than fall
    out. This results in a cleaner etch. 

    You could also try using the traditional asphaltum type resist.
