I must be an idiot. I bought GBC's SelfSeal Laminating Sheets (9x12) and need to laminate both sides of a 8.5x11 piece of paper. The instructions say to lay the paper face down on the non adhesive side and then peel away the liner and seal. What am I supposed to seal it with? Another laminating sheet? When I pull the liner away the adhesive side is facing away from the page and sticks to everything. Any help would be appreciated.Thanks
If it is laminating sheets, just one sheet of plastic adhesive, then yes, you need to use two and sandwich the paper in between. What I do is lay the laminating sheet with the liner facing up. I peel off the liner and center my paper on the adhesive. Then I take just the end of the liner off another sheet and place it very carefully lined up with the first one, adhesive side down. Then I carefully pull the liner off as I smooth the top laminating sheet over the paper. You have to do it very carefully to avoid wrinkles. Then you can cut off the excess right around the edge of your page if you want to; it is very hard to position the sheets without a little bit of overhang with adhesive exposed. NOW, if it is a laminating pouch, that is a totally different thing. You have to place your paper in between the two sheets of plastic that make up the pouch and peel the liner paper off the side that has liner paper, and smooth it over your page. But I am pretty sure you are just talking about laminating sheets like I described in the first paragraph. Hope this helps!
