Homebrew PCBs

Well yeah, acetone fumes apparently do a pretty good job, might be a little
slower though. Bit more difficult to automate too, you'd need a wide tub of
the stuff with a sealing lid that could slide open on demand when the pcb
was sitting over it. probably start melting the plastic housing of the
printer too. I guess a hot wire element would be quite slow
too considering the copper you need to heat up before the toner would melt
to it.
