I was working through laminator toner tranfer mods and melted a plastic
gear

so while I was waiting for metal gears to arrive in the mail I
stumbled onto this stove top method and I already had the heavy metal and
the silicone rubber so my olny expense was the hot plate:

I am very pleased with the results.
All the time effort and money I spent on chasing laminator solutions
has not been for nothing. I learned a lot about what we wanted in
temperature and pressure.
The 6 inch square block of 1 inch steel plate plus the C clamp weighs 12 pounds. I'd call that a press.
