I've seen people mention that they use aquarium heaters for heating ferric chloride/pcb etchant. The ones I've looked have thermostats that stop at about 35 degrees, but the etchant instructions say it must be at about 45 - 50 degrees for the ones I've used. I'm fine when I first use it, I can just make up the solution with hot tap water... It's when I leave it and want to come back to it later that I'm having problems, and it seems a waste to make a new batch up every time.
So how does everyone else do it?
Also, something related.. I saw this http://www.rapidelectronics.co.uk/rkmain.asp?PAGEID=80010&CTL_CAT_CODE=&STK_PROD_CODE=M66683&XPAGENO=1
today, and immediately thought PCB etching tank!
