Subject: Re: Toner transfer with transparency - how?

just read elsewhere that someone has poor results with some type of
cleaning pads...so i start to wonder if that is my case - namely, i
currently use cork and ajax powder cleaner to polish the board.
Visible board is perfect, but who really knows. So, i'll get some
steel wool tomorrow and try with it. I wonder, what do you use? and
is there any other thing necesarry after steel wool?
Thanks!
