RE: [Homebrew_PCBs] Laminator + Iron

2010-02-16 by Jim Barnes

Hi,

 

I agree. Sounds like a good idea. I’ll try it as soon as I can buy a cheap iron, since my wife won’t let me use hers. Does anyone know how hot the iron should be to transfer the toner?

Thank you for the idea, Dan. Best of both worlds!
