Instead of using Ferric Chloride solution check
this out homemade solution

I recommend not mixing
the the powders, one is a primer and the other is the tin. Scrub the
board with water, then scrub with a little primer powder and then scrub in the tin separately.
This will give a nice Tin finish that will last years. No shelf life to
worry about.
