A [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peristaltic_pump peristaltic pump] and possible accoutrements for etching boards. The pump could be used to speed up the etching process by displacing spent etchant from the immediate vicinity of the board. The pump could also be used to bubble air through the Copper Chloride etchant that will soon be in play at the space. | A [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peristaltic_pump peristaltic pump] and possible accoutrements for etching boards. The pump could be used to speed up the etching process by displacing spent etchant from the immediate vicinity of the board. The pump could also be used to bubble air through the Copper Chloride etchant that will soon be in play at the space. The air bubbling is an essential process in regenerating the etchant. | ||
