Homebrew PCBs

Thanks for the response.

My hunch was that it may have been a board cleanliness issue. I'll try the 
alcohol and have a can of acetone. I've also been real careful to handle 
everything along the edges so as to not leave fingerprints on either the 
surfaces of the board or the transfer paper.

I can't believe that the laminator isn't hot enough. The board gets pretty 
darn hot after it goes through. I also don't waste time re-running it 
through.

I'm open to other suggestions if anyone has any.
