I don't know if I do enough TT with the new heat control to say
"normally" but the old control was for 320 F and was a bit too cold.
350 F seems to work better (HP 2550), but I need to try a few other
temperatures to make sure I'm not getting it so hot it melts and
deforms. The last board I did had traces so much wider they shorted
in a few places, but that might have been the green TRF getting too
hot also.
The other thing I tried that seems to have helped is I used a
rubber-soled push block to press the paper against the board on a cast
iron table saw; which held the paper firmly in contact while quickly
cooling it.
