Subject: Re: [Homebrew_PCBs] First attempt at toner transfer

From: rolohar@...

I have had good results with 70% iso-alcohol from Walmart.

The alcohol acts as a cleaner only, So, most types will serve this purpose.

The actual "transfer" medium is the other ingredient.

Good Luck

I use a mixture of denatured alcohol and xylene.  Had both from some painting I had been doing and it works well.  About 1 part xylene to 5 parts alcohol.  I printed a test page with various width lines and tried different ratios by painting a little of the mixture on the lines.  You want the mixture to soften the toner and not smear the lines.
