Ok I was afraid of that :/ would a 2 watt blue laser do it do you think? It doesn't have to completely come off exactly. If I could rub it off without removing the rest it would be ok. As for the copper acting as a heatsink would heating the board up help?
I just modified my diy cnc with a 1 watt laser for cutting pcbs. That is, I spray a copper clad board with black plasti-dip spray which forms a layer which resists etching by chemicals then laser away the parts that will be etched. THe plastidip spray however is not getting cut all the way...
