It's meant to be used with a domestic iron, but I never had much luck
with that.
A better approach is to use a laminator to tack the PNP to the copper
first (introduce the PCB in with a corner first), then put the sandwich
onto a folded newspaper, a piece of kitchen paper on top, then rest a
hot smoothing iron on top for a minute. Then back into the laminator
for a few passes.
The GBC 950 laminator is supposed to be able to reach a high enough
temp. to not need the iron to get there, so if you want to
experiment...

Sure, the UV approach is time-consuming.
