Well, I just recieved the Laminex PAC IX I ordered off eBay. It has a
900 watt heater with adjustable thermostat and a thermometer. At its
max the thermometer comes up to 360F (about 185C). I havent run many
boards through it yet, so I'm not sure what temp is best (love to
hear other peoples experiance about this).
