That could just be a little bit too tedious for big areas.
I tried heating with the heat gun and wasn't really convinced by the
results...

I guess i will etch the boards, further mechanical attempts were not
leading
to good results.
I'll see if sticky tape is tight enough where it overlaps or if i need to
use paint...
