I bought that same laminator, added my own thermocouple
control and get very good results with boards up to .052 thick. Twice used .062 material but had to force it thru and pull it out with pliers.
Set the temp at 360f. Works as well as my 18" GBC and would sell the 18". I use two passes but have tried with one pass
and that seems just as good.
Use glossy catalog paper to get best results. Wish I had a source for that same paper without printing on it.
I clean the boards with steel wool and finnnish with acetone wash. Have done boards with 5 mill lines and 3 mil spaces- very pleased.

Thanks, the tiny did work and I just ordered one. BTW, I'm in Michigan.
There is another person who is curious about these laminators, and he's in
England. Like you, I hope he can find same or similar product.
I wonder if the free shipping will count for England?
