Stacy, you’re reading things into what I said. Never said I was heads or shoulders above the rest of anyone and I’m not to be confused with an old shampoo for dandruff.
5 years is plenty of time to get to know how to do things in many areas. I never said I or we don’t get bubbles… I said routinely get bubbles. For the first 6 or 7 years, we didn’t have a laminator and we either sprayed or rolled on liquid clears or went without, but it still had to be put down. We also used calendared products and learned to do it to the point of customer acceptance. How else do you think I know what had to be said to the customer ?? We did have a level of acceptance, but bubbles were generally not a problem. Going on crooked was our biggest problem on calendared vinyl unlaminated.
Personally, I never found Cor-X to be more of a problem vs. other substrates. We almost always did it dry except when a new person was helping who would always think doing it wet was better, until they eventually learned to do it dry. They always had to be shown and proven…. wet wasn’t any better.
Never said it equates to meaning someone sucks…… just meant an 18” x 24” is not a problem on a routine basis.
My biggest point in everything was he is using the wrong media for his application. Change media and probably 95% of his problems will disappear and he would know that from our mistakes and findings.
Nothing was aimed towards you, your personal handling of materials or your shop. Somehow, you took my post personal and your assumption became clouded. Again, this was only meant to help the OP learn the difference between good practices vs. poor ones. Anyone else getting caught, well, it’s all meant to help everyone.
