Item#2, but any etchant that enters the etcher chamber, be it fresh or with some copper, it is going to mix with the bulk etchant in the etcher, and the drop in copper content inside the etcher won't be so great the etching ability is dropped, will it? ______________________________ Reply Separator _________________________________ Subject: Re: [TN] Ammonia Etchant - Replenisher Author: "TechNet Mail Forum." <[log in to unmask]>, at corp Date: 1/21/98 8:52 PM Item # 1 is, indeed, legit. Item #2 is also since "fresh" etchant, w/o Cu will not etch, so the etchant that is rinsed from the exiting panels does increase the Cu content. Item #3 is propaganda.
