Oh and by the what you need to have is

Fecl3 2M solution or solid

solid NaOH to make the developer (7-10 gramms)

Pliers (plastic cheap ones)

A couple of 60W normal lamps should ok. Like the ones you use on your desk. Or buy a a 125W. Or wait for the sunshine and its free.

3 containers (you mus have two that one should be bigger than the other one) I used ice cream plastic containers. A small one to have the board and solutions in. This i placed in the bigger one wher i kept adding warm water. So its good to do that in the kitchen near the stove to continously warm water and have running water.

So to get these professional result you probably need to spend nothing other than for the solutions that should be cheap and the pre sensitized board also.

So you need to have $0 equipment unlike what some people claim.

If you plan to do this often like every week make a pcb for example then its worth getting a container with a thermostat.

But if you plan doing it only every once in a while dont buy anything. The result will look professional and will work great.
