Found a new link http://www.ultrakeet.com/index.php?id=article&name=makepcbs

There is a commercial product involved (Pulsar paper and a laminator which
are dished in the paper wars thread). There are lots of pictures. I think I
can honestly say Holy Cow, I don't believe it. Very inspirational.
The link at the end http://www.podecoet.org/ shows that the PCB is for a
Remote Engine Start project.

Also on instructables, there was some more instructables and threads. One
tip was to expose the pcb to etchant (FeCl3) for a few seconds and then
rinse the board, it is supposed to create pits onto the surface of the
copper that will allow the toner to adhere to the copper.

o etching times with a sponge is fast.
