Fusion 4000 Alternative

Hey everyone,

I recently got a hot press and am excited at the options it presents.
Especially for laminating papers without introducing any liquid.

But... Fusion 4000 is no longer available. Does anyone have a good
alternative? The closest I've see are "The Beva 371 Film" which takes two
steps and "Film 4000" from a company I've never heard of before (
https://www.designsinkart.com/film4000.shtml).

In theory, I could make PVA sheets but that seems like far more work than
it would be worth and potentially messier than the Fusion 4000 was.

Any advice/recommendations would be appreciated!
