laminating by hand-how difficult is it?
I’d guess fairly, coz of static/dust etc.
I have some prints (off my PC60) to put onto boards that will be going to Spain and will live outdoors, and I don’t know that Frogjuice will be up to the job?
Even if laminated, will the prints stay colourful, or will they fade quickly? The main colour is yellow.Cheers

Hi Lorraine
I lam by hand for flat panel work as i can’t afford a laminator yet.
the main problem i have is sometimes the print goes milky in places, but it does dry out after a couple of days.
since i started using J&J baby shampoo it isn’t as bad.

Hi Paul, thanks for your reply.
Do you always apply lam wet then?
-
atm yes. but i dont do any recess work with it as i dont trust it to stay.
any recess work i get another company a few miles away to put it through their machine.

That’s interesting! I didn’t know you could laminate by hand
Its done wet I presume Paul?

yes John,
i use a water and baby shampoo mix. but and i stress this i don’t trust it to stay in panels. i only do it for flat panel work.
the 1 main problem i do find sometimes in if you get it to wet and the backing paper curls it can be a pain to then re-feed into my cadet and cut.

I would of thought that you laminate the work then cut around with a scalpel
….or am I going the long way around 🙄(Its a thought process Mort.. nothing more 😀 )

Hi John
yep thst easy on straightforward shapes, but if it’s multiples or complex shapes there is nothing quite like print now cut later 🙂
