lamination and temperature

[lizardfoto]

Hello everyone,
.Im printing my images at home and I would like to make some table mats for friends....and me..I was wondering if anyone has some suggestions on how to do it, and to laminate the pictures so is also temperature resistant!!
I think it wont work with a normal laminate machine (maybe if i laminate 2 or three times)...
Thank you
Ivan

I used Seal and now IJ Industries laminate (prefer IJ for ease of use) and both are set at 200 degrees F. for about 3- 5 minutes. (Look for small vacant areas, then redo until you don't see any.) I use a Seal 210 M flatbed press and if the piece happens to be larger than the press, just press in sections by overlapping a couple of inches or so.
