[sdiy] automotive decals

[David G Dixon]

Thanks, JP.  I've seen your pics before, and they are very impressive.  So,
are you laminating with plastic through a laminating machine in the usual
way?  I've got a nice laminating machine left over from my DecalPro debacle,
and my wife doesn't want me baking Lasertran in the oven anymore (something
about getting cancer, blah blah blah :)  )
