How do I reduce undercutting of an etchant?

Undercutting of the etchant can be reduced by increasing the rate of stirring or agitation.

Do I need to dilute an etchant?

No, it is a ready-to-use solution. Dilution will only be necessary if you want to reduce the etch rate.

How do I reduce the etch rate of an etchant?

The etch rate of the etchant can be reduced by adding 1 part deionized water to 2 parts etchant. This will reduce the etch rate approximately 50%.

How do I increase the etch rate of an etchant?

The etch rate of the etchant will be increased by increasing the rate of stirring or agitation.
