Many thanks to everyone who responded.
As I cleaned the board, I had no beading of water when done; it sheeted
off like it was oil-free. The board as I received it seemed to have a
waxy coating, reminiscent of dried cosmolene. I think I got all that
off.
I will use lacquer thinner or acetone outdoors, with suitable skin and
lung protection.
I will visit a few local copy centers this afternoon and see what I can
find in the way of laser copiers that will apply a more apparently heavy
layer of toner than I got originally.
Re: Gary's question, "Are u waiting till the toner dries again
and board cools before removing the paper??"
Neither the paper of the toner ever "stuck" to the board, although I did
manage to apply a visible image over about 80% of the traces.
So,
Try a different copier(s)
Use lacquer thinner or acetone, not lighter fluid.
Thanks,
Steve Bartlett
