Thanks again for your answers and sorry for the delay!!
The last news: I was able to remove the gelatine from the copper using
a needle, it comes off very easely leaving the tonner sticked to the
board, although we must go very carefully with it I was able to get
tracks and spaces of 0,35 mm!!

Thanks again to you all!!
