I don't find I need more than 1 side bound.  I make a .5-1" boarder 
on 1 side with a glue stick.  You only need to keep the paper from 
shifting from its registration marks long enough for the 
laminator/fuser to tack down the toner.

About the question of the brass, the method should work as expected.  
Look for a laminator with spring loaded rollers --they should do a 
better job than those with fixed roller positions on different 
material thicknesses.
