I am interested in doing some photo etching of 0.01" brass sheets
that are 4x10", and I would like to try the TT method of transfering
my image to brass. Note, these will be etched on both sides, and
this would not be for pcb purposes (but for art's sake).

There has been lots of discussion of laminators being used with
better results than an iron. My question is this:

Is there a brand or model of laminator that can be had that generates
sufficient heat to do a transfer? Or is there a model/brand that is
easier to modify the thermastat for higher temps? I can get a 4"
laminator on ebay for ~$1 plus $10 shipping (GBC HeatSeal H100 Pro).
The thickness of the brass translates as - 0.10" = 0.25mm (thinner
than pc boards).

I would have gone ahead and used the iron method, but I'm afraid that
the thin-ness of my material and the fact that I'll need to iron both
sides scares me off. I don't want to iron one side successfully,
just to ruin it when I heat the other side.

Any thoughts?
