Shows promise. I've posted a photo of my first try in the Harbor Freight Laminator file. The board outline is 10 mil in width. Looks like it may be a viable, inexpensive laminator.

For what it's worth, I just got an HF coupon for this laminator for $19.99.  For that price, I had to try it.  I'll light it off tomorrow for a try.  It's also cheap enough to take it apart and see if it can be worked over to accept thicker boards - I prefer to work with .062 stock.  I can send copies of the coupon, if anyone else is interested.
