Homebrew PCBs

I solved this problem by making two small (maybe 1/4" x 3/8") pieces
of .031 pcb and wedging them between the top plate and the little
plastic things that stick out from each side (I don't have a camera
and wish I did).

This worked well until I had to move the laminator around a bit, and
the pieces fell out. I will epoxy them in place.

I did have to take the plastic cover off to install them. I just put
them on the plate and used a screwdriver to slide them over and wedge
them under each plastic "finger".

The directions were frustrating for me too and I cursed the author
many times, and I also wished for photos. Eventually I got it done.
But 15 minutes? No way. But the results were worth it.
