Over the years I've tried etching boards with various methods. I have never gotten a good looking trace. Whether the trace area is cleaned and painted on, or photo sensitive, the edges are always irregular. They are not straight and taper to a thin edge. Just what you don't want.

Temp, chemicals (Typically Ferric Chloride IIRC), chemical dilution, agitation: All according to directions with the same results. I finally gave up.
