I have problems using acetone.
If i use it to remove the toner from toner transfer it
solves the epoxy pcb surface and smears the toner into it.
Laquer thinner (containing toluenme/xylene) does only solve the toner,
not the epoxy. But i do not like toluene/xylene for health reasons.

I also tried IPA and denatured alcohol but both do hardly solve the toner.

I scrape away the toner now, any i'm wondering what you guys use..
