Of course, sorry, i meant that too..
I too make 2-layer boards with no plating just fine...

Somehow in my head "multilayer" was linked to "more than 2"

I find it still a bit harder to do 2-sided with toner transfer so i try
to keep it on one.
Often i have to etch away the other side blank because my pcb material is 
mostly
two-sided.. Waste, i know, i ought to get the 2-sided thing working as 
good as the
one-sided.

How did you contact the middle layer? with no throughhole plating?
