I first pass the TT paper through the laminator a couple of times to  
"tack" it into position, then heat with an iron (just rest the iron  
on top of a kitchen paper/TT/copper laminate/newspaper sandwich) with  
the iron set at hot for about a minute. Then back to the laminator to  
finish the fusing.
