Re: [LM_NET] TAR: Bubbles in Laminate Cover on Some Paperbacks

[Joleen Waltman <waltmaj@ABERDEEN58.ORG>]

To go along with this. I have a hard time with the edges coming up or
bubbling. The rest of the cover is great but the edges seperate from the
book. Is there something I am missing? I have had some books turn out real
nice and then others have the edges seperate. Any knowledge on how to fix
this would be greatly appreciated.

I don't get very many bubbles Pete so I dont' know how to answer yours. It
just reminded me about my problem.
