It worked ok with 5 passes. I wiped the board clean with carb cleaner and also tried a general solvent that I have. Both worked better than acetone since they did not evaporate to fast and stain the copper. The edges of the board are stained, but are also super rough from being sheared. I should try both solvents on a board with no copper.
I have a page from a magazine I have used for years, to try next. I should pull that laminator apart just for fun. I suppose the rollers are geared together so I cannot widen the gap. But since the rollers are about a foot long, they flex enough to pass a .067" sandwich ok.
