If you've been able to talk the copy centre into making photo copies of the chart consider the less expensive cold plastic lamination process. However if you're getting your original chart laminated go for the hot lamination. It'll last a lot longer. The cold process will work for about four or five days. Eventually it leaks along the edges. I've gone the hot lamination route once. I cut the charts into standard paper sizes and stacked the cut up chart back to back. I throw way the large sections of open water or sections of land that are not relevant to kayaking but keep the section with the legend and compass rose and mark the longitude and latitude lines on the individual pages.

I've never used them for "aftermarket" lamination, *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
