Subject: Toner transfer problem

From: "nuno-t" <nuno-t@...>

Hi everyone,

I've started making PCB's using the toner transfer method. The results are
quite good but I have a problem:
How can I remove the toner from the PCB after etching? I've been using
scraping/sanding methods with hawfull results. After etching the PCB looks
great, almost like it has made in a factory, when removing the toner many
tracks and pad's become damaged or even removed, no matter how carefull I'm.
Using soft sanding paper takes FOREVER to remove it all.

How about using normal paper to 'capture' the toner again in another heat
pressing method?

Does anyone have a good method, or sugestion to make, that doesn't damage
the copper?

Thank you

Nuno T.
