Sitting here looking at my etched boards with the toner still on them,
I got to thinking that I could leave it there. Use a Q-tip to remove
the toner from the solder pads and leave the rest there. This might
help to reduce oxidization of the copper?

I suppose there could be a problem with the toner melting and flowing
back into solder joints as you add components though.

Just an idea, curious if anyone has tried this and if they had any
success.
