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

Hi Brian,

Try soaking the board in water and automatic
dishwashing detergent. Then use a green pad scrubber.

The alkalinity in the automatic dishwashing detergent
dissolves the binder/coating left from the paper.

TANSTAAFL!
