I wouldn't say you need to spend that much time, i just quickly sand the  
board with very fine paper (so that you see marks everywhere is enough)  
and then wipe it twice with a paper towel and alcohol. I don't think that  
takes even half a minute. Those abrasive pads you get for preparing copper  
tubing for soldering work well instead of the sanding paper too.
