There's 1 shop above Rochor centre ( i think 3rd storey).. where they do sell DIY PCB kits or something.

the solvent you need might be able to find there!

If you're enrolled in a polytechnic, try approaching the Electronics and Engineering Lecturers. They usually have a whole room dedicated to PCB developing and etching. You probably have to buy your own boards though.

the chemical hydrogen peroxide can be bought at pharmacy but hydrochloric acid is hard to come by. i don't know what product contain it as the site said muriatic acid or "pool acid" contain it.so any1 can tell me or pm (edder : its a controlled item, so buy discretely. )what product contain this?
been searching most of the supermarket and diy shop that contain this but no avail cause some of the product doesn't stated what they contain.
maybe i check the shop bedokkids suggest.
