I've had good success with three to five passes through a Creative GBC
9" laminator (the one that retails $50 at Staples) but I don't know if
it can handle a regular thickness PCB. I think the GBC Heatseal 200
can be modified via instructions on several websites to accept thicker
boards. I've also heard of people forcing the Creative to take thicker
boards by putting it in at an angle and basically ramming it through
the laminator.

Staples sometimes puts these on sale for $30 - keep an eye out, maybe
buy two.
