* Once in the etching tank you should see a colour change (the non-resist area will turn an orangey colour) within a couple of minutes--these are not the colour change you are looking for. Take my word for it. You can confirm this by testing the complete conductivity of the board with a multimeter.

* After multiple stops and starts it took maybe 15-20 minutes to etch the board. Once the copper finally starts to disappear it is quite rapid however. Keep an eye on it and maybe re-orientate the board to ensure even coverage.

* Don't use the mill bits from the drawers under the CNC/RepRap machine. Try looking in the very thin drawer at the top left of the tool drawers for drill bits. Try 0.8mm size. Drill carefully. Be prepared to buy more. :-)
