Homebrew PCBs

Hi Jack,
I had good luck with purple cows laminator sold at Costco. However it takes several passes to get food results and I find it doesn't apply a lot of pressure after it gets heated up and used many times
 I ordered an apache 13-something for 61 USD on eBay. People praise it fir PCB work, I got it last night and still didn't try it. Bit its built like a tank!

Is there a preferred laminator for PCB making?

I have been at this for a few weeks and have tried many of the suggested 
media and a few of my own. So far the best results have been with 
magazine paper after I figured out what people meant by the term. 
Hadn't a clue where one could purchase it.

PnP was a big disappointment and about the worst results.

PO label backing was the second best.

I suspect most of the problems are with uniform heat and pressure so the 
laminator seems like a good idea.

As a point of interest, Yahoo seems to have really barfed up the Groups 
lately and their stock has crashed in my humble opinion.

Thanks
