What are ‘etch traps’ in PCB design and why are they bad?
Google is not being helpful, and I don’t know where else to look!
Thanks.

Things like right angle and acute angle bends in tracks. They can prevent free flow of etchant and cause under-etching.
The correct term to search for is “acid trap”, and I would add “PCB” to avoid reading about plumbing.
