I shorted the switch out on my laminator as a quick and dirty test.

The next thing that happened was the over temp. fuse blowing!

I noted also that the attainable temp was lower with the top of the  
case removed.

Agreed, especially as this one results in something tidy in a case.

BTW, you already know about using the laminator to start off by  
tacking the press'n'peel, then resting an iron on it (kitchen paper  
in between) for about a minute, and then back into the laminator for  
a few passes?
