Mark – In the January 1982 issue of RMC I illustrate photo etching which
may be more detailed than the Micro-Mark instructions. – Al Westerfield

Mark,
You obviously missed my clinic at Cocoa Beach last year, which was on using
this system to photo etch at home :)
Bottom line is that it works well if you are careful and treat the chemicals
with the respect that they are due. It is only useful for making smaller
sheets (3" x 5" is about the maximum and smaller than that is better).
Pretty much everything in the kit is needed, although as noted the quality of
things like the apron and gloves are not great and so I used my own.
SAFETY FIRST! If you get this kit, please, please read all of the
instructions and treat the etchant and other solutions with a great deal of
respect.

Is it over-priced? Are there better systems? Are they selling you a bunch of extra crap you don't need? Any advise is welcomed. Thanks. Mark Feddersen Denver, Iowa
