This unit is nice and small, not requiring much workspace. It comes with 30 cellophane wrappers,
sized just right for a poker sized playing card deck. The Red power button is a push-push switch.
There is a small Green 3mm LED for power on indication. The clear plastic lid is very convenient as
it allows you to stow away the unit before it has completely cooled. The case is cheap plastic, but
is protected from the heating plate, which is mounted on a fiberglass circuit board inside the case.
I measured a temp of 200°F plus on the heating surface after 7 minutes.
Positioning the
cellophane on the playing card deck is tricky, requiring a fair amount of dexterity and careful
thought. This particular aspect of wrapping is a feature of the manual cellophane sealing process.
Sealing can be simplified by buying a Cellophane Head Tool on AliExpress. This handy tool is a
metal piece on the end of a small wooden handle, giving it the look of a Chess piece.
Always seal the side first prior to sealing the top and bottom. Be certain your tear strip is
at the top of the case before you start sealing. If you briefly (1-2 seconds) heat the face and back
of the wrapped deck it will keep it from slipping when you begin sealing the top and bottom. Be
certain you have the partially sealed deck centered first.
