Jennifer loves the poly, its the stuff used on original games.... The plexi on the other hand not only gets all scratchy, but gross spills and stuff get underneath it. |
| CoryBee:
Thanks Jenn, Cheffo and Player 1. Is the poly attached to the vinyl (or whatever material) when it is shipped or is it a separate piece all together? :laugh: |
| CoryBee:
One more thing, regards to button holes. I assume that they are not pre-cut. Would I cut the thin poly the same way I have been with plexi? (Spade bit - carefully at a slow speed allowing the outer spikes of the bit to slice a circle kind of like a cat burglar to glass) thanks again everybody, am really anxious to get up and going and not take 8+ months on it. |

This example pic shows the art feeding into the lamination machine. The clear material feeding down and over the orange roller is the polycarbonate. The laminator will heat-fuse the two together. Some places put the lamination on both sides. (I think that GoG does, based on their FAQ) Note that the polycarb is flexible enough to easily bend around the roller. For art installation and cutting info, see the stickied Side Art Install 101 thread. Scott P.S. Who is this "Player 1" of whom you speak? ;D |
| CoryBee:
Thanks again PL1, :applaud: Shiny work indeed, I have seen the side art 101 before. That doesn't have poly on it though, is it just as easy to apply though? :cheers: |
