I had better results with alcohol or acetone than laquer thinner, but it
might have been that the laquer thinner bottle was contaminated by wetting
a greasy rag for other purpuses.
(By the way to avoid solvent contamination i found it extremely useful to
glue a bicycle valve into the stopper of each solvent bottle i have
(remove the ball or rubber hose). These valves come with a nice plastic
screw-cap. Ideal small-amount dripping dispenser. just to make that clear
again, the one-way function is disabled, the valve just acts as a nice
metal stub with a proper screw-on cap.)
A heavier toner layer seems to be a good idea too.
You can use IPA or ethanol instead of acetone, works just as well (even
easier to us because it evaporates slower). I wouldn't use laquer thinner
simply because you never know what is in there.
Use safety glasses.
