Exactly that. I use 150gsm paper, and let the board soak in water. I
brush my fingers in the paper to take the "first layer" of paper out, let
some time more to soak the second layer, and brush it again with fingers to
take all the paper out. After that, a good toothbrush with soap to clean
everything, and the board is ready to be IMEDIATELY corroded - if you let it
oxidize, it will be a nightmare to corrode.
