Greetings, I'm rounding up tools and materials to try my hand at making PCBs. My intention is to use the Pulsar method. I have obtained a GBC 9" Personal Laminator, but it seems that 1/2 oz. 0.032" clad boards are very hard to find. After much googling the only source I've found is Digi-Key, and they're currently out of stock. I'm wondering whether anyone has tried feeding the thicker 0.064" stock through the GBC Personal Laminator. I've spent a good deal of time reading the archives of this mailing list and while I've seen it mentioned several times that feeding the stock in corner-first helps with thicker material, it isn't clear to me whether anyone is doing this successfully with this laminator. I noticed that the instructions say that the maximum pouch size is 5 mil, but I don't know whether or not that tells us anything useful. I might just try it myself, but I thought I'd ask here first before I run the risk of gagging my brand-new laminator. Alternatively, has anyone tried the sponge-etch method with 1 oz. copper stock? 1 oz. / 0.032" stock seems to be readily available. Thanks in advance for any replies. --Adam
