Steve,

I tested that on new blanks from ebay and I used a scouring pad for
dishes (the green plastic one) and dish soap. It stuck like a dream.

Few times in 90 deg directions. I know that old boards are more
stubborn. I have a batch of old boards and they are best cleand using
a palm sander first because of heavy oxidation and not compeltely
flat copper. Hope it helps. Miek
