Hi! I used diluted ferric chloride solution, it takes a little longer with D2 but still etches nicely. This etch is on the deeper side and was in the ferric chloride for a few cycles of about 45 seconds each time... rinse in boiling water then clean with dawn/toothbrush... windex.... reverse osmosis water then repeat.
Not too sure on the kit, do you have a link? Sounds cool! The Ferric Chloride is from Radio Shack but you can buy it online in powder form.
I've never used this before, but was considering trying it.
