How hard is it to apply to the copper?
I have a different brand, but I've found a method that's pretty
reliable. I hacked a laminator to run at 240 degrees F instead of
it's default 320 F. I cut a piece of paper a little wider than the
PCB and a few inches longer, and tape the leading edge of the film to
the paper, with the PCB between them, and the extra paper ahead of it.
I tape two paper tabs to the trailing corners of the film. When I put
the paper into the laminator, I have time to lift the film up off the
pcb using the tabs, and pull it tight, before the film hits the
rollers. The tabs let me hold the film tight and off the pcb even
when the film has entered the laminator. I've found that this method
replicates what the big fabs do, and seems to be very reliable about
not getting air bubbles or wrinkles.
