Use buckets when dealing with AP. This way you can have a smaller bucket inside a larger one with holes drilled out so all the foils fall into the larger bucket making it easier to filter. With larger boards doesnt really matter but with fingers its a huge help.
That is brilliant! I have a plastic colander (noodle strainer) that will fit over a 5 gallon bucket, but that still could over flow ... I like your bucket in bucket better.
@@badideametals with 5 gallon bucket you shouldnt have to worry about overflowing. I used thensame technique but larger, a 55 gallon trash can with a 35 gallon car wash soap. I used a dowel so the smaller one would never sit on the bottom of the larger one and I rarely ever shaked anything. You should twist shake or disturb the foils if your not rushing the process, you can do all those things dont get me wrong but if you leave it alone the foils come off in one piece mostly so your not dealing with the small black particles that can go through filters. Newer fingers can do that no matter what sometimes. But I was like you, a week or two but I never touched until inwas ready to filter everything. Works the same for large boards
nice demonstration.air bubbler helps keeps the acid fresh...yeah there a plastic sheath on the mouse pads. I just rub my fingers over them and it comes off easy.the acid works quicker then.👍👍
Rubbing is okay, but a little slow. If you put the board in acetone for a while it wil come of very fast and easy with a brush. Afterwards the acetone is reusable.
@@TheDurdane yeah I actually seen a video there recently of somebody using acetone..my god it's works fair quick.ill definitely be using that next time.thanks for the tip
hi cool video,if you use a something like a plastic tub and air bubbler it will work a lot faster and make sure to save the acid as you can use this again by adding fresh hcl and you wont need to add any peroxide as you have copper chloride , keep up the great work
I am going to need to get a bubbler ... it helps move the liquid as well as it adds oxygen which is what the peroxide is doing (which you said could be left out with the use of the bubbler)... I find I get a density column where the Copper Chloride stays separated from the HCl at certain temperatures. Thanks for the advice :)
Just wondering if there is that sticky stuff still on the mouse pads,maybe the acid isn't getting to the copper because of this. Great to see you having a go. I've not done this yet,but I'm keen to give it a go myself.
