Homebrew PCBs

The laminator cost me about $100, but there are less expensive ones.
Your 4x6 may get hot enough. Never hurts to try.

From what I have read you will have to be careful with the amount of
washing soda you add to the water. To clean up my first mistake I just
dumped some in hot water and soaked. I think if you get it too strong
it could dissolve away exposed parts as well. 

I will be interested in hearing how the t-shirt transfer works.
