I etched my first board with the vinegar/h2o2 recipe and had success. I'll continue to use this method as well as trying the muriatic acid method.
The instructions that I've seen online don't talk much about reusing the etchant. The most detail I've seen is "recharge the etchant later with more h2o2".
Firstly, does anybody know if/how you can/should reuse the etchant?
Secondly, if you do add more h2o2:
Thanks

Secondly, if you do add more h2o2:
- how much?
- doesn't this just dilute the mixture (especially after several additions)?
- do you drain-off an equal volume first (otherwise you'll end up overfilling your tank)
Thanks
