I don't soak it long, no. I have never tried so i dunno if a paper will
come off overnight.
Your method sounds fine to me, i believe the toner does not adhere well
enough.
What board preparation/cleaning do you use? What method to iron/fuse?

You can use a hard edge, like a steel scraper, and scrape it off. If you
don't scratch with the corner it will not damage the traces.
I then use acetone to clean the board and remove any tiny pieces left, but
the scraping makes quick work of the bulk of it.
