Things I have learned.

1.This is not for the faint of heart, so read everthing you can and go thru all the threads in this forum.
2.When printing the pcb on you photo paper - TURN OFF THE PAGE SCALING SETTING.
I must have burned thru a half a ream of paper before I figured this one out.
3.Don't use photo paper use cheap paper from a magazine.
Another hard learned lesson photo paper is to hard to remove and all the papers I used had a waterproof plastic on it.
So not only do you have toner to try to remove but also a filmy plastic layer on top of it.
I've invented several new expletatives learning this one.
4.Nail polish remover sucks as toner remover, so don't tick your wife off use acetone and let the pcb soak for 30 mins or so.
5. Now for a bit off good news even if you toner transfer mucks up like mine did.
Soak it in acetone then use a spongy sandpaper pad just scrub it off then viola! almost new copperclad board.
6.This is not for the faint of heart, so read everthing you can and go thru all the threads in this forum.
Well this is all I have for now much thanks to Dmitri, Synthex and Gastric and every else who replied to my crazy questions. ;)
