That's just so awesome.  I have to say that it's either too daunting of a task or I'm too lazy, to do the transfer process.  Probably the latter.   8)
For me its one of the best parts!  U should try and see how it goes! Once u do u finish u have that feeling of almost 100% DIY!

Please share your entire process. Always on the lookout for the perfect transfer :-)
Hey man! i can share with you, no problem.

Thank you very much. Very helpful. I use almost the same method but there are always spot where the toner doesn't stick. Maybe i keep my iton too hot?

Do you prep with steel wool or light sanding before transfering?

ooops!
i forgot a very important step:
i clean the copper surface with a milky scouring agent (dont know the correct name in english, but its the milky stuff you use to clean metal surfaces). i clean 3 times with it in order to remove all the oxidation, after that properly washed with water and dried with paper towel.
I think this is a very important step in order to get the  toner to adhere to the surface.
If you have only few points where the toner didnt  work well, you can always correct with a sharpie, but yeah, only if its a few probs...
good luck
