    Your friend is wrong, you are right. Face down because otherwise the
    copper debris will land on your copper. 

    Adding citric acid will increase the speed of your etch. It's called
    the Edinburg etch, the link to the university that created it has
    been posted many times here, find it in the archives or do a good
    search. 

    You can buy citric acid at science or food supply places. 

    You definitely need to switch to a different copy shop, that's a
    problem.
