Re: [Homebrew_PCBs] Re: Toner transfer experiments and a fix for cheap, low-temp laminators

Hi Bob,

I have the 4" version of the GBC. I have run .062
boards through it. The trick is to feed them in at a
slight angle, so the rollers only grab a corner at
first. Trying to feed these boards in square causes
the GBC to choke.

TANSTAAFL!
