Subject: Re: Toner transfer experiments and a fix for cheap

Hi Adrian,

I think grease/oil on the board is the worst problem. I just use
scotch brite and scrub in both directions which creates a cross hatch
pattern on the copper for the toner to adhere to. I clean the board
with 98+% IPA and let the board air dry or use compressed air.

The other key is to make sure all toner is melted. I think that's
easier to do with the transparency method.

Regards,
Dennis
