Looks like slivering to me. Increase pressure (within reason) and slow your speed down. If you have heat assist turn it on before lamination.

My shop is in Toronto - when the cold weather comes around we need to let our lam sit for a day to temperate adjust after delivery. The cold from the un-heated delivery trucks would cause this slivering in the lam adhesive quite aggressively if we didn’t.

I've had inspector gadget stuck in my head for a solid 2 months. I even started whistling it for about 1/2 the day. Guess we all need a habit

Buy some cigarettes. )))) ))

Anyway, bigk...... why are you upset at my post ?? Seriously, I thought the title, along with the players fit right into your question and your name/avatar. Besides, it's kinda basic knowledge that silvering goes away with time from 20 minutes to a few hours. So, may I give your OP a thumbs down ??
