Multiple posting of this question will not help you find the stuff, telling us where you live might! ;)

Multiple posting? Did I post it twice or something? I didn't know, sorry.

I live in north east U.S. I thought someone mention radio shack but they don't have it... I have no idea where to get it.

I also checked home depot, Lowe's and False Value.

Nothing there....

Have you checked your yellow pages for chemicals?

Bob, Radio Shack carries Ferric Chloride. Also, you can order it through www.circuitspecialists.com

Is this the Ferric Chloride? They call it etchant, that's why I couldn't find it. Provided this is the Ferric Chloride??

Yes, Radio Shack probably doesn't know there is more than one type of etchant in the world. What they carry is the ferric chloride.
Also, if you plan to use lots, Circuit Specialists carries the powder form. Much cheaper to ship, but you have to be careful when mixing it with water or you can get hurt severely. Once mixed, it is the same as the bottled etchant you buy.
