steelie 0 Report post Posted November 18, 2006 Good Day, Although it is possible it may be called something different in the U.K. I am pretty sure you will find the same or very similar product as it is still used quite a bit in the graphics arts. Therefore I would first check with suppliers of graphic art supplies then to craft or general art stores. Sometimes here in the States I have seen it at office supply stores as well. Try graphics arts first. Even a local university that has such a program may be able to point you in the right direction... Steelie Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have the art store cut the pad with shears down to 8 1/2" x 11" so it fits in my printer. I also keep the thin remnant strips. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fly Tyer Guy 0 Report post Posted November 22, 2006 Almost forgot to tell you on the laminating sheets they have a shiny side and a dull side, You want to sratch the lines in the dull side (it does not work on the shiny side) Fly Tyer Guy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
