If you are going to play in this ball game you need a ball and a bat
and a glove.
You need an accurate CONTACT measument of temperature...thermometer.
I suggest this one... $11

OR
lots of the $20 digital multimeters come with a thermocouple thermometer:

So start gathering the tools......
No matter what mod you do to a laminator ...you will need to measure if it works
or
OVERworks.....
like my first mod melting my nylon gear because I let it overshoot to 470 degrees.
I found that infrared thermometers could not pick pinpoint temperature readings
and worse.... reflected off lighter and mirror surfaces and gave very wild readings.

I own a TL902 Thermal Laminator By Scotch and viewed a different GBC post of a repair parts manual and need to know if any one can assist me in locating a parts type manual for mine so I may try to increase the heat of it up to 340 degrees. I have no idea what the heat is now as my manual and box does not state that only two settings available. One 3 mil second one 5 mil
with 5 mil I assume is hotter.
