TS808 in etchant... some questions

[cakeworks]

Hey, I'm etching a ts808 layout from tonepad at the moment. I'm using heat excited ferric chloride and after a while it's turning black, is this normal?

thanks

sorry about my rushed (rude) manner

sorry, got a bit excited. the etch worked after all (my first pcb etch success) hehe yesssssss

sorry once more.

would a componentry screenprint for this be a bit overkill?

thanks for putting up with me
