[pure-silver] Re: OT Laminating with a hot press

While on the subject of laminating, I would like to make portraits with a canvas-like look. I'm considering going to the art supply store and getting the artist's canvas board (or whatever it's called!) and using an adhesive to mount a print on the canvas board with a fair amount of pressure and some heat in my drymount press. Is this likely to work, or am I just whistling 'Dixie'? 

Thanks

I have laminated many things in the past with my Seal dry mount press.
In addition to the laminating sheets, Seal made a laminating sheet
called SealLamin. When laminating paper like news print photos, it
would greatly enhance the color, sort of like putting oil on the
newsprint. I do not know if it is still available, but I got mine at
Charrette art supply store in Woburn, Ma.
I also laminated cards with flowers, but they have to be absolutely
moisture free.

Hi,

I have a hot press for mounting prints. Is it possible to laminate cards
with a hot press ? Or are those laminating machines generally hotter ?

Thanks
