Re: Beginner questions on building a homebrew TT laminator

Agreed, Stefan. I never said that people should not convert xerox 
conductors. I enjoy that subject and reading about it that people do 
dare things and come out successfel, like yourself. That impresses 
me, but I would not do that myself anymore. I might have hinted that 
if people value their time a lot then the economical way is HC200. 
Enough beating that already dead horse.
