Heat one corner with a hot air paint stripping gun so that you lift enough copper to be able to grab it with the pliers. Clamp one end firmly, apply the heat gun to heat just infront of the area of copper you are lifting and pull on the copper to remove it. The price you pay is like all soldering and electronic work is you loose your fingerprints.

Subject: [Homebrew_PCBs] Double to single sided board
To: Homebrew_PCBs@yahoogroups.com

I was wondering, I have a pretty good stash of double sided board, but very
little single sided.
I have been using Eagle to design my boards so far, and for the sake of
simplicity, I have been trying to keep to one sided designs. Plus the fact
that I have just learned about how to make a ground plane in Eagle, there is
not too much to etch on the bottom side, and a great big field to etch away
on the top.
Has anyone come up with a way to quickly strip the copper from one side of a
double sided board?
With practice, I hope to be able to align the patterns well enough to make a
good double sided board, but for now, I have been just trying to etch it
away.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
