I am using a medium size office laminator without any problems. The film adheres so well, so I beleive that the correct temperature is the key for success. I had noticed also that bubbles or wrinkles are mainly due to operator human error by manipulating the film, just before entering the hot rolls, not the process itself inside the laminator. However, large PCBs in the horizontal axis are more prone to wrinkles because it is harder to keep the film flat with the hands at those sizes. It would be very useful to adapt some kind of roll support or clamp to a structure containing the laminator itself, to emulate a more professional laminator with a flat film entering the hot rolls. Your wet method seems very well, but there are more steps to follow than in the dry method.
