OK, I'm with you. Yea, I AM that olde! One detail in this regard: Some
brands of plastics have that brown "Kraft paper" covering, and that "stays"
just fine, as one machines it. But some "new stuff" has a blue flexible
plastic film, kinda like "poly-bag", but maybe a little tougher. It
"wrinkles" at the cuts,and does NOT protect the surface at the edges very
well, and "wicks" meth.chloride when glued, and makes an ugly mess near the
edges! I called my vendor to ask if they had the "old paper covering stuff",
and the "girl on the phone" said, "You are the only one to ever complain
about that! Surely, it is something YOU are doing wrong!" Ever hear that,
before?????? Jan Rowland
