At the moment I have neither laminator nor UV source

I use a clothes iron to adhere dry film on boards smaller than the iron, on a very cool setting, works well, clean and dry board (and slightly warm if it if it's cold), remove protective layer from film, smooth on with fingers avoiding bubbles, cover with paper, put clothes iron 50 to 75 degrees C on top, too hot and it will blister, wait about 30 seconds, then iron and press like your shirt for another 30s or so, paying special attention to edges.

Unless you live on Antarctica at the moment you have a UV source for a few hours a day at least :-)
