All i meant was instead of using press n peel paper i use a sheet of paper 
from the maplin electronics catalogue. Its very thin and the toner does not 
stick to it after you have ironed it onto the board. it just peels off. No 
different to the way press n peel works.

still as with press n peel i still get problems. like today when i have 
tried to do a board three times now and always there is some little error 
that keeps bugging me.

I'm looking now for a better way to do these boards. press n peel method is 
hard work to get right. thinking of getting kitted out for UV now.

I much prefer UV. It didn't cost me much to build a simple UV exposure 
unit - something like 25 GBP. It looks very crude but it does the job. I'll 
upload a photo of it, it'll give me a chance to use the Nikon D80 camera I 
gave myself for Christmas.
