I've used several kinds. Pumice, microetch and a acid soap. I liked the pumice the best. However its been several years since i used it. The only difficulty I remember having was with thin core and .5 oz copper. Core thickness of .006" or less we couldn't run. I'm sure improvements have been made since then. Currently running microetch in conveyorized equip. and core thickness is not an issue. We can run .002" cores with .5/.5 cu.

Any information would be appreciated.
