Yes, my self-adhesive vinyl is 'sandwiched' under a top transparent
plastic and something underneath to preserve the bottom self-adhesive.
Then this is baked to stick the laminate.
About getting cancer cause of that... hhmmmmmm..??
You'll mostly get cancer because of psychological

Thanks anyway for your nice reply.
