DJ Delorie used to post on here a lot.  His website is full of great info.

Most "stock" laminators are not hot enough.  Some have been successful with
lots of passes while some have made custom controllers.  The issue a lot of
people have is that right when it's done heating most laminators turn off
the element until it gets to a threshold then it heats back up.  Instead of
using a slightly more complicated controller to get a nice steady
temperature.  It is possible to melt your laminator but a lot of people have
had good luck with the gbc personal series laminators.
