So for the base sheet just use regular printer paper and then tape a
piece of the paper I'll do the actual transfer with onto it (be it
magazine, photo, whatever), and cut the piece of paper so it has 1/4"
extra hanging off of each side of the board, right?   

What do you think of using some sort of paint on top of the traces to
strengthen them and avoid pinholes?

Thanks very much for all the help!
