I can't say I've ever used it before: www.surplustronics.co.nz That will do the job, I also just found out that Jaycar sell it too, catalogue number NC4254, 400 gm makes up into 1.5 litres, cost $15.90, so a bit cheaper from surplustronics :) Its much cleaner to use than ferric chloride, but I dont think it goes so far. |

| 762450 | 2009-04-05 08:59:00 | Maybe Ammonium Persulphate - from Jaycar Cat #NC-4254 or other suppliers. Ferric Chloride seems out of fashion lately. Hydrochloric acid, if you must have it can be obtained by sticking your finger down your throat, it is the fizzy mix in your digestive juices. Concentrating it may be a problem. ;) |

| 762451 | 2009-04-05 09:13:00 | I'm going to have a go at etching some PCBs. To be more exact, a board to program a PIC16F628A microcontroller, and later, a Xilinx Sparten IIE FPGA. I saw in the photo of the Spirit of Salts on the Mitre 10 website it is hydrochloric acid. If I recall correctly from chemistry at school, the name is HCl. (H - C - small L., not H - C - I) may i recommend using ferric chloride?? |

| 762452 | 2009-04-05 09:34:00 | I'm looking at following this guide. www.instructables.com thoughts? Will ammonium persulphate last as long? |

| 762453 | 2009-04-05 09:37:00 | From deadpopstar.com "Etchant. The stuff of choice seems to be ferric chloride. I hate it, use ammonium persulfate, it comes in crystal form. It's odorless, not very toxic, but it needs to be heated, and can't be reused like ferric chloride." Hydrogen peroxide + hydrochloric acid seems to be reusable many times. |

| 762454 | 2009-04-05 10:12:00 | To be completely honest with you, I don't care what the chemical formula of Vitriol is - I posted in this thread with the intention of helping the original poster find something he/she was looking for. Agreed once more. "Where can I get hydrochlorc acid?" Where do you get that acid from? Also when I posted I had no idea what purity was wanted and also why the HCl was going to be used. |

| 762455 | 2009-04-05 10:27:00 | Have you a chemical formula for Vitriol? Vitriol is the archaic/historic name for sulphuric acid (H2SO4). Cheers Billy 8-{) |
