Homebrew PCBs

I do have some laser printer labels and had thought of the backer
sheet. However I was not sure if it was silicone or maybe some kind of
wax. 

In doing some searching I did also see references to silicone coated
paper being sold by places that sell transfer sheets for things like
t-shirts and cups. 

It makes me wonder why the usual PCB toner transfer venders are not
selling something similar. The PNP Blue that I normally use does not
appear to be silicone based.
