Re: Newbie asks: 0.064" stock in GBC 9" Personal Laminator?

I've used the sponge method on boards up to 2 ounce copper.  It just
takes longer.  Definitely get the green film if using the sponge
method.  It is very effective in protecting the toner from the rubbing
action.

A 75mm by 100mm board with 1 ounce copper takes about 5 minutes to
etch.  I also cover all unused areas with toner to reduce the rate of
etchant exhaustion.  This size board takes about 1 ounce of etchant.
