2014-04-12 by Christopher R. Fraction

I have two laminators, one from Harbor Freight and another one. I can not get either of them anywhere near hot enough to transfer toner...

If you use a laminator (or fuser unit from a laser printer) you will eliminate this problem of variable board size.

I haven't done a board of any size with success using an iron, at least not consistently.

It is also 2 oz. and double sided. The board itself will suck heat away from the area I am trying to transfer the toner to. Has anyone done a board of this type and size with success? What Size iron in wattage did you use... THANKS for all answers....
