Thanks.

Some comments and questions about the procedure:

* Don't recommend steel wool. It can leave little bits of steel in the 
copper (which become rusty). Use copper wool instead (grocery store 
copper scrubbers).

* Interesting tip to use floor wax to prevent corrosion. Does it 
affect soldering at all?

* How do you keep the paper on the second side in registration after 
you hold it up to the light and before you iron it?
