Question 1

Can you emboss these with a Cuttlebug?

Accepted Answer

Well Cindy, that is something I haven't ever tried....give me a minute to run it through my Big Shot and I will let you know. How's that?DRUM ROLL....for dramatic effect!!!I used an embossing folder by Darice mainly for the style of design and it worked beautifully. I ran one piece through several times and it looks OK while having a slight curve in it like most paper or card stock. Then I ran a second piece through once then back to the starting position because it is easier to remove the folder from that position and it looks great too, without quite as much curve.The flower design is embossed in the plastic very well with no tearing or milky look around the edges, that I was concerned about. I chose this folder because the design has several sizes of daisy like flowers, some swirls formed from dots and also a couple tiny hearts. Besides the curve I can see no difference in the results. None of the designs in the folder caused a puncture in the plastic especially the dotted swirls.I believe you would be very happy with the Cuttlebug results too. So go for it...and by the way, thanks for asking, I love passing along information that I have learned so others can increase their knowledge and fun in their creativity.Don't forget you can stamp on this with a permanent ink too and color it. Have fun!

Question 2

How "high heat" resistant? Anyone tried/recommend for/against running these thru a laser printer?  Thinking > .005 but not sure how thick exactly. Thx

Accepted Answer

I don't have a laser printer, but have embossed the .005 with embossing powders and a heat gun that heats to over 450 degrees and my biggest one heats even higher but I threw away the box so not sure of the temp on it. So far this acrylic has stood up to everything I have thrown at it with no problems. As for the thickness, if you get the .005, it is about the thickness of a high quality business card. It is the thickness I use for all my crafting and card making projects. Hope this helps.I was out of town so did not see this request till this afternoon. Sorry for the delay!

Question 3

Can this be used over epoxy as a release agent?  Will epoxy resin bond to this?  How is the thickness in comparison to saran wrap?

Accepted Answer

We have not tested the Dura-Lar as a release agent. However, we can tell you this product is much thicker than Saran Wrap. Unlike Saran Wrap which is flimsy and soft, even this thin Dura-Lar film resists creasing and wrinkling and is designed to remain smooth and flat. This product can be compared to transparencies for overhead projectors.

Question 4

If using this in making greeting cards or for windows in small boxes, what is the best glue to use?

Accepted Answer

We would recommend a double sided tape or transfer tape.  Glue dots also work well with this material.
