Subject: Re: [Homebrew_PCBs] Harbor Freight Laminator

From: Larry Battraw <lbattraw@...>
Date: 2011-11-02

For the record I have tried .040, .062, and (barely) .080 through it. .040
and .062 seem to work fine in it as long as you're not trying to run a
board wider than around 6 inches in it. .080 was a stretch and needed
assistance to make it through successfully. Mind you these are bare boards
without anything like toner transfer paper or photoresist on them.

Regards,
Larry
