Laminator + Iron

2010-02-15 by thedancarter

Hi all,

I recently gave TT another try after giving up and going back to photo boards.

Problem was inconsistent pressure with iron, or crappy Aldi laminator not hot enough.

Solution was to use both - �2.50 iron from Argos, �10 laminator. The iron just sits on top of paper on board (on a sheet of plywood - no ironing board or whatever necessary) for a couple of minutes, to get it hot, then into the laminator twice to apply even pressure.

So for has worked every time (using magazine paper) - might be worth a try for anyone having inconsistent results.
