I am, but if I can get the laminator hacked, I may switch from wet to
dry. I'll have to try and see which is more reliable.

I did a solder paste screen using aluminum foil and dry film, it seems
to have worked well but I haven't tried to apply paste with it yet.

I use the wet method, which I've described here before. It works
reasonably well but it's a bit messy and labor-sensitive.
