Subject: Re: Heating Idea for Toner Transfer Method

I have found with my laminator that at least some of the toner sticks
on the first pass. So if you get through one pass there should be no
further movement.
To eliminate any shifting in the first pass I place the board between
a folded heavy piece of construction paper as a carrier . The back of
the board is against the fold so that it does not shift towards
the back.
I did my first two sided board last weekend and things lined up quite
well.
I gave some thought to the burger or waffle press method before buying
the laminator. My only concern was getting the stack height right to
get even pressure across the board.
