Subject: Re: more experiments with Toner transfer by etching the boards first

From: verstelle@...

OK just a note, today I made my first 2 sides board using toner transfer and it came out great the holes lined up perfectly.

But after I finished etching the board I though I would try to cleaner the toner off with Acetone, the same Acetone I tried to do the cold transfer with the other day and to my shock I had to scrub like hell to get it off. 

So ether my toner is the wrong type for acetone transfer or the acetone is not so pure. Also another thing comes to mind, maybe it to cold. I'm doing it in the garage and it's cold out there so who knows maybe Acetone doesn't work so good when it's cold.  

In the past one wipe with Acetone and the toner was gone, but it was summer then.
