                         manually engaging said upper outer shell portion directly and lifting                               
                  said upper outer shell portion upwardly to said open position thereof;                                     
                         disposing said first and second feed materials in such a position with                              
                  respect to said cooperating pressure applying structures that, when said                                   
                  upper outer shell portion is lowered to said closed position thereof to move                               
                  said upper one of cooperating structures adjacent the lower one of said                                    
                  cooperating pressure apply structures [in] said cooperating pressure applying                              
                  relationship thereof, said first and second feed materials will be positioned                              
                  between said cooperating structures;                                                                       
                         then lowering said upper outer shell portion to said closed position                                
                  thereof to position the upper one of said cooperating structures adjacent the                              
                  lower one of said cooperating pressure applying structures in said                                         
                  cooperating pressure applying relationship thereof with said first and second                              
                  feed materials positioned therebetween; and                                                                
                         while said upper outer shell portion is in said closed position thereof                             
                  and said cooperating structures are in said cooperating pressure applying                                  
                  relationship thereof with said first and second feed materials therebetween,                               
                  advancing said master with the first and second feed materials on opposing                                 
                  sides thereof and said adhesive contacting the master between said                                         
                  cooperating structures such that said cooperating structures in said                                       
                  cooperating pressure applying relationship thereof apply pressure to said                                  
                  master and feed materials as they advance therethrough so as to bond said                                  
                  adhesive to said master.
