Yes I have - not on Tarot cards, thank the powers that be, on postcards - and a couple of years on it has gone all nasty and yellowy, and the glue is sort of leaking gently out round the edges.TreeLeafe said:Has anyone tried clear contact paper? I see it at SAMS club every time I go there and I'm tempted to get it but I'm not sure exactly how it would turn out.
I've got a few decks I really want to get laminated before I start to use them (Like my Ferret Tarot)
aurarcana said:Hi tarotlyn, what is the name of the ink pads that you found that work on plastic? I found one brand on that site; is that the one?
Gilt edging outside of the laminate = perfect!
ETA: I found one: StazOn Solvent Ink Pads by Tsukineko. They are also available in Metallic: StazOn Metallic. Once you get the ink pad, you can buy refill ink too!

I'd say - don't !
gregory said:Science may have advanced in two years.... Try a postcard ?
More to the point - if you are looking at the Ferrets - I NEVER laminate "real decks" - I scan, print and laminate the copies. Then I can use them without risking the originals. Like ripping CDs to use in the car, rather than risk the machine in there eating the good copes !
Hot laminators are extremely cheap these days....
Oh wow. That's a lot cheaper than I thought it would be.gregory said:The contact paper was about $5 in a department store...
