Subject: What takes off that 'residue' left behind from the toner using inkjet paper?

Hello all,

My toner method is coming along real fine, and want to thank all the
ones who have taken time to help me through the process.

I now got it down pat!

The only thing of concern is that filmy coating left behind on my PCB,
after I scrubb off the inkjet paper from the board. I tried
alcohol/WD-40/household oil/and even an eraser...now the eraser works
pretty fair...but I sometimes scrub off bits of the toner also. I am
wondering what substance is this 'filmy' stuff made of? That way, I
can buy a certain chemical that will attack it.

Any has knowledge in this area?

Thank you again for all the help!

Patrick
