new to etching

You have gone through a lot of paper. I know bad toner then bad laminator. But it still sounds like a lot. You must be trying to make a large board.

You switch most anything with the right relay. But to know how to best answer your question we would need to know what you are switching?

EDIT: The chances of getting a good board goes down as the area of the board increases. This made board making much harder back in the Z80 days when you need over 30 inches or so to do very basic systems.

no the board was only about 3 x 4 inch's. I just had a lot of bad prints, then I didn't think about taping the paper to normal paper before I printed untill the end. As for the circuit I haven't got everything organized yet. I will ask again once I do!!
