A hot laminator works much better - no "glue-ie edges" or bubble in the
laminate.  They're not that expensive to buy either, provided you don't

the 'small' version that only handles pouches up to 4.5" wide. :)

I printed up my K'rathri SSD's on laser business card blanks, the
hot-laminated them with standard pouches.  Works like a charm.
