Well, the proof of the pudding is in the eating, and the proof of the
TT must be in the etching. I think I got 15 good boards out of 20 on
one panel (each is 1 inch square.) But that included some Sharpie fixes.
My second and third transfers didn't pull nearly as cleanly as my
first and left a difficult-to-remove residue in some spots. I also
tried lower temperatures and various peel techniques, but couldn't
seem to replicate my initial success, which I'll blame on beginner's luck.
All in all, I'm not altogether thrilled by the Office Depot paper.
But it's better than anything else I've tried. Of course, i haven't
tried anything else, so I guess I'll be off to Staples to collect a
bit of their paper for my next try.
Thanks all for guidance and encouragement!
Donald.
