Homebrew PCBs

There are lots of laminators out there that are worthless. The H200 works 
so good because it heats the roller, many cheap ones have a heater and then 
it's pressed by cold rollers.

I bought mine two years ago for $99 but about a week ago I searched again 
to check the price and see if it's still available and I found it on the 
Internet for $97 so look around you should be able to buy it for less that 
$100.
