Got the replacement rollers from Fellows yesterday. Ran a board after putting it back together. I only put about 1/2 of the original spring tension on the rollers, and I played with the heat setting still the rollers ran at 180C (original highest setting before modification)

I preheated the board at ~150C, 1 minute, flip, 1 minute, then ran the board through the laminator 3 times.

Good adhesion, a significant amount of smearing.

Will adjust temps down a bit more and report results.

Interestingly, the temps aren't linear:

setting actual (all Celsius)
140 220 (from last time)
120 200
117 196
115 180
110 165
