Subject: Re: Toner transfer problem

The two best solvents that I use to remove the toner from etched
boards are:

1. Energine Spot Remover (A dry-cleaning fluid)

and

2. Goof Off (A paint remover)

Both are availible at hardware stores.

My preference is the Energine Spot Remover as it works INSTANTLY.
Like the others have posted, wet a portion of paper towel with the
solvent and gently rub the toner. It will immediately dissolve the
toner (in a single pass). I like this solvent best because it dries
cleanly and almost instantly. The Goof Off is almost as effective,
but it may take more than one swipe with the paper towel and it
doesn't dry as quickly.

Just my $0.02
