Homebrew PCBs

a while back i discovered 'THE BEST" way to remove the papaer residue

**Ammonia based windows cleaner**

also, before you do the iron on, clean the board with window cleaner -
works much better then meths, and unlike steel wool, doesn't take any
of the copper of with it

anyhoo... after ironing, take a blade from a craft knife and seperate
the backing of the paper from the coated side. it's very easy - the
coated side is stuck down firm and the paper back isn't. peel it all
off with the blade. now then, normally you'd think to soak the
remaining paper off with hot water for 20mins or whatever - don't
bother! spray the board with window cleaner making sure it soaks in
properly - which it will do much better and faster (re:instantly) then
water does. now then, no waiting around, no soaking for minutes,
simply rub the paper off! use a sponge, a dish brush, your finger,
anything! it'll come off easier then you could have imagined

hope this helps you all
cheers
