Print Waterproof Plastic Maps

Step 11Seal the Top Film

Seal the Top Film
Place the paper with the exposed Clear film over the printed map and seal with the iron.

After printing the map, the White film (with fresh ink) should still be bonded to its paper.  Lay this paper (film side up) on the ironing board surface.
Then immediately, place the paper with the the bonded Clear film over the map.  The Clear film should now be in contact with the White film.  

This will create the follow "sandwich" layers:   Paper with bonded Clear Film / Ink / White Film bonded to Paper

Avoid moving/shifting the Clear film layer on the map this will smear the still fresh ink.

Iron the "sandwich" as before with the same temperature. Less time should be needed since you are bonding plastic to plastic which occurs readily.
