After reading the below review, I was kinda of scared my would do the same. All I can say, my did not stick or overheat. I will say, it is important to not leave it running. This would cause any laminating machine too be to hot. The instructions are misleading. The laminating light is not the light that needs to turn green. It is the power light. I hope this helps, just in case that was the problem. Otherwise, I would recommend this product to all crafters. I have purchase them all.
