okay
I figured the printer would get oily with the oil method, but didnt 
think it would leave the printer too bad off.  I am going to pick up 
a tube of RTV silicone today (high heat) and try getting a window 
cleaning squeegy to get it on the paper.  i assume you only do one 
side right?  Am I looking to get a layer as thick as a "notecard" or 
am I trying to get it as thin as as possible?  I would only worry 
about getting it too thin in some spots.  I just havent figured out 
how to get it to be thin and yet perfectly smooth.  maybe laying 
another piece of glass on top and add pressure to get all the air 
bubbles out until dry?  IS RTV anerobic?
