Homebrew PCBs

Bill, firstly thanks for following up on this, I thought I had heard 
to last to my question. From my queries locally I have been told that 
the cheapies run at only about 120 degrees, from this group I gather 
the H200 is red hot and that is the first requirement. I have some 
PCB 0.25mm thick so I borrowed my son's laminator (a cheapie). I had 
no success getting any toner to adhere even from Time magazine paper, 
but with one exception, and that was from the oven paper suggested in 
this group. Actually the toner was so lightly attached to the oven 
paper that the finer cutting lines had fallen off before I had done 
the process, I think a hot breath would have even worked with that. 
So I have no doubts that good heat is a key to success.
So I need a cheap one that gets red hot, which brings me back to the 
H200 or equivalent. Bill, if you can get any more info I shall be 
pleased to hear about it.

In the mean time I will follow up on those two names you have 
mentioned in your post.
Thanks Leon.
