I have been using the same simple method for years and it works very well. I
scrub the board with no-name steel wool soap pads from the supermarket. Then
I give it a good rub down with acetone on a paper towel. Then iron on toner
transfer from Epson No S041140 photo paper or 100gsm glossy paper from
Officeworks printed on a HP laserjet. I use a 2400W iron on the hottest
setting.

Works perfectly. The Epson paper floats off beautifully in a water bath. The
Officeworks paper needs a bit of frictional encouragement.
