Build sheets (is laminating a good idea)?
Just looking for idea's on preserving build sheets, is it good to laminate these, or is there a better way to be able to view these and not damage them any further, the laminate sheets I have are sticky and ounce they are done, they are DONE.

Re: Build sheets (is laminating a good idea)?
I would make a very good photocopy of it and then laminate that. I think if you keep the original tucked safely away, dry and out of light it should keep preserved.. I just don't like the idea of laminating the original because, like you said, once its done, its done...

Re: Build sheets (is laminating a good idea)?
I have taken high resolution photos of mine and then put them in a protective box and tucked them away in a safe (fireproof).
you can reproduce them with your computer, blow them up Etc. My concern would be once they are laminated how would you prove they were original???

Re: Build sheets (is laminating a good idea)?
You could scan it and then print it on a nice color printer then laminate it.
The quality of scanners and printers these days is pretty impressive. If you dont own a scanner/printer im sure a Kwik Kopy or similar store will do it for a small price and they can probably laminate it too.
