Toner Transfer

2008-11-05 by Brian

I searched for TT and got 1000's or returns, on this group and the
web, so I thought I would ask here.

I did a TT. Good results before. I have tried to peel the paper off
when hot and it worked ok. Then I tried to let it cool and soak it in
water then peel it off. Worked ok.

My problem now is that when I soak it in water for 15 or so minutes I
have parts of the traces not sticking to the board. I used rubber
gloves during the whole process and cleaned the board with fingernail
polish remover with acatone.

Am I not heating it long enough (3 to 5 minutes with an iron) or not
letting it soak long enough, tried cold and hot water?

I am using kodak glossy paper.

TT seams like a good way to go but I think I am doing something wrong.

If anyone has a good proceedure I would like to try it.

Brian
