Anyone etch thier own PCBs?

[TheSmirk]

So anyone here make their own? I'm thinking of making some up for a project....from what I've read so far, I'm going with the liquid Ferric Chloride as opposed to powder....but one question I have is what do you do wih the leftovers when you are done? Any special disposal required??

TIA

How many boards are you planning on doing? If the quantity is high enough there are plenty of production facilities that will etch/drill/cut boards for pretty reasonable prices.

I've etched a few small PCBs, there wasn't any special disposal required, you just need to be careful about splashing and spilling because the stuff REALLY stains. IIRC it said to just flush the excess down the toilet.
