[sdiy] alternatives to Schaefer front panels for Canadians? Good software to use?

[Danjel van Tijn]

Hi Louis,

I am familair with the normal lamination process using translucent plastic
(used extensively in school while growing up). I was under the impression
that he was using some sort of special metal laminate (hence the word
"foil") I think that he was actually describing normal laminate pouches
which are defintiely widely available. The only issue is that I can't find a
laminate pouch that is large enough to do 19" panels.

cheers,
