I'm sure you could use a fuser but you would need to do some modifications

I was thinking about it but in the end I went with the laminator because everything was already in the one unit and to get it up to correct temperature I just needed to add 1 resistor to the control circuitry.

Mine does seem to need a few passes but that doesn't worry me a great deal, considering how easy it was to get up and running.
