Use the laminator to tack your master to the PCB, may be best to pass  
it through corner first; do it a couple of times from opposite corners.

Use your iron to heat the laminate and master, resting the sandwich on  
a folded newspaper, a folded piece of kitchen paper, your sandwich,  
and another folded piece of kitchen paper. No need to move the iron,  
let it rest on top for about a minute.

Now take your by now very hot PCB and pass it through your laminator a  
few times. How many will depend on experience.

Works for me (assuming that the iron is big enough to heat the whole  
PCB at once).
