Re: [Homebrew_PCBs] Isopropyl Alcohol

2006-02-18 by Evan Dudzik

I don't see why a little water is a problem... usually there's a couple
minutes between cleaning and use for it to dry for me, and doing toner
transfer, i often pre-heat the board with the iron anyway, which should get
rid of any remaining moisture.
