I don't find I need more than 1 side bound. I make a .5-1" boarder
on 1 side with a glue stick. You only need to keep the paper from
shifting from its registration marks long enough for the
laminator/fuser to tack down the toner.

About the question of the brass, the method should work as expected.
Look for a laminator with spring loaded rollers --they should do a
better job than those with fixed roller positions on different
material thicknesses.
