Re: How do you clean the toner off the board?

I always use acetone myself. I find that if I don't use enough to fully wet and dissolve the toner it tends to stain the board. So I just slosh some on the board, let it sit for a second or so, and wipe up the toner/acetone with a few sheets of paper towels.
