Would the finished circuit baord work the same? I want to make a single sided printed circuit board, but all I have is a double sided. Would it be okay to use to double sided and still get a working board?
Thanks In Advance

You can etch all of the copper off of one side or you can print identical circuitry on both sides of the board. Both will work.

Besides etching off all the copper on one side, or making identical traces on both sides, there is a 3rd option:
You can etch out "copper cutouts" around each hole through the pcboard and use the rest of the copper as a ground plane.

Completely mask the side the non-circuit side of the copper board with tape or etch-resist. That way you won't deplete your etchant and, should you decide to reuse the board for some other project later, you'll still have a fresh side of copper.

I am thinking back to the cruises I have been on, and the starboard side seems to be the more popular boarding side. My recollection is we boarded/disembarked on that side most of the time, whether it was at dock or to tenders. I think we could have boarded on the port however. This really tests my memory. Yes, now I remember. We did disembark/board thru the port side in Aruba. BTW, we had several disembarkation/boarding levels depending on the port. Sometimes it was high up on the ship (San Juan) sometimes middle, when at dock (Aruba) and sometimes we would be right down on the water if we were using tenders (St. Martin/Maarten). They were all through the hull.

It will work perfectly fine, it will just take longer for the copper to come off if you are using ferrous oxide.
