ASSES
Decaling is where you laminate items and then
mount them on other materials such as Foam Core
or mounting board. It is performed in two passes.
The first pass laminates and applies the mounting
adhesive, encapsulating the item. The second pass
mounts it on rigid material.
This two pass operation requires pressure sensitive
laminating film on the top supply shaft and pressure
sensitive mounting film on the bottom supply shaft.
Refer to Fig. 6-15 for the proper configuration of
Poly-in or Poly-out film.
