Homebrew PCBs

Well, you could always use a better laminator or a fuser to reduce the  
effort.

If it doesn't adhere there are only two possible reasons:

A) low temperature or no pressure

B) contamination or insufficient board preparation.

If it seems to adhere well, but toner comes off when gently removing the  
paper you have a paper problem.
Sometimes it might be difficult to distinguish the two.
