> What was your experience like with the Laminator? The Pulsar site seems to suggest you need the 'Personal' one versus the 'Creative' one that you recommend. Personally, I'd rather use the 'Creative' one because it only costs ~$25 vs ~$75 for the 'Personal' one. Apparently, the Personal one runs at a higher temperature and this is critical for good transfers?

Until I was given a fancy Unilam professional machine, I was getting good results on small PCBs with a $25 Scotch laminator. I believe these same innards are used in many different brands of machine. I did a simple modification to increase the temperature, and with the addition of a variable resistor it's possible to set it even higher. Ideally you would slow down the feed rate quite a bit, but the synchronous motor most of the cheap machines use does not lend itself well to this. With a little machinework a nice solution would be to replace that motor with a DC gearhead motor and variable speed control.
