Subject: Re: [Homebrew_PCBs] Re: GBC H210 laminator for $40 after rebate at Staples this weekend

Thank you! I have ordered some 1/32" boards for testing it out with. I'm
glad to hear it works well for someone. I purchased the laminator and left
it in the box just in case someone said it doesn't work so I can return it.
:) Now I have to remember to send in the rebate.
