Hi JP, thanks for your prompt feedback.

My printer is a Lexmark E210. I just ordered a GBC HeatSeal
(http://www.presentationsdirect.com/gbc-heatseal-9-creative-pouch-laminator.html)
and hope it will be hot enought. Do we know how hot the GBC laminators
are?

Also, I'm planning to "play" with the motor to have it moving slowly
(like cutting the power 30% of the time, etc.) so the PCB will stay
longer in the hoven.

JM
