Dave,
I don't think I have played in an area nearly as complex as toner transfer. There are so many variables and so many options. Numerous times I have come very close to an answer but one variable was wrong. Each time a new option shows up, like your use of the laminator and freezer, it is a new "wild card" in the deck. Only by going back to my first failed experiments with this new wild card was I able to find the answer I wanted.
Getting 80% success rate is not bad if you can't do better. Time will tell if the toner transfer to powder coated surface procedure is reliable. But so far, it has been great.
As you may have noticed, I'm a real sucker for keeping things simple and using commonly found materials.
Thanks for your help,
Rick
