P3D Heat Seal Mounts

I have been shooting and mounting stereo for about 3 years now, and have
only used the heat seal mounts.  Since most of my work is viewer in a
handheld viewer, I have been satisfied with the results.  I think it's time,
however, to expand my horizons and try another mounting method.  I too am
very interested in the RBT mounts.  Would someone mind sharing their
favorite source for these mounts, and perhaps where on the web to find some
instructions in their use?

In response to someone elses questions about the heat seal mounts, I tack
down the film chip with a Wess tape before folding and sealing the mount. I
use a Monocote Iron to seal the mount, which works quite well.  This is a
small iron that I borrowed from one of my other hobbies.. applying heat
shrink film to radio control airplanes.

Finally,  I have tried using a laminator and have found that it slightly
"hazes" the image.  I don't think this is just my imagination, but I'm not
quite sure.  I'd love to know what kind of laminator, and what heat settings
people are using.
