Partial succes! ;)  I found 2 ways how NOT to do sensor etching.

The coper foil can't be too thick. 0.11mm can seem to be pretty thin, but not for this application.

And Riston photo-resist don't get along with ammonium peroxydisulfate. 1 hour is maximum time within this two can tolerate each other.Just like my... 

The solution was in ballpark of 220g/L and room temp for slow copper bite.

I might take this from wrong side, i will try with thin wire instead just to speed up things, while I wait for thinner copper foil.

thanks for the tip, I actually added resistor, dissipating 2W, under bath at the end.The whole deal was to etch slowly for that 6mil traces.

You can use speed up the etching by putting your tray in a hot water bath.  e.g. putting the tray inside a baking tray filled with hot water.
