It's heavier, so just wondering if the laminator's motor will be strong enough to pull the pieces through. (I don't make PCBs, I'm an artist, but the transfer and etching techniques I use are the same and this group is an amazing resource.)

Shows promise. I've posted a photo of my first try in the Harbor Freight Laminator file. The board outline is 10 mil in width. Looks like it may be a viable, inexpensive laminator.

It's also cheap enough to take it apart and see if it can be worked over to accept thicker boards - I prefer to work with .062 stock. I can send copies of the coupon, if anyone else is interested.
