I'll also jump on the laminator bandwagon. Just don't think you can get any 
consistent temp/pressure with manual method.

I just did this board about 15 minutes ago (it's etching now), (Epson paper 
/ HP LJ-III / refilled toner cartridge / flea market badge laminator)

The ONLY board prep I did was to clean the copper clad with a handfull of 
corse steel wool (I was out of the fine steel wool I usually use), you can 
see the scratches.

  But the toner traces stick like barnacles.
