RE: [Homebrew_PCBs] Re: Easy Fast Laser Print DIY Circuit Boards - Dave's toner-transfer freezing technique

2013-08-14 by Mark Lerman

Rick,

You might want to try using an acetone vapor chamber. Wrap the toner
around the pipe, perhaps taping it to the pipe, then let it sit in
acetone vapor for a few minutes. Maybe from there into the freezer
for a half hour. Just a thought.
