This all looks very interesting...at $8 for 10 sheets you could still
just use Press 'n Peel, but if this dissolving paper can be obtained
in bulk it might work really well. If it stands up to copiers it
should be able to handle ironing OK.

If this stuff really dissolves that quickly, and doesn't hinder the
etching process much, you might be able to dump the board into the
etch with the paper still on.
