I really like the glue stick trick and the tape trick！ You are a genius!! Do you have any experience making flashcards for kids? I guess it's like what you said, "answer pieces." What paper do you use, plain paper or cardstock? I'm considering thick cardstock and 3mil lamination pouches or trying 32lb plain paper and 5mil pouches. Do you have any suggestions on what to choose?
Thanks for some cool tips!! One random little side thing: "mil" in this context has nothing to do with milliliters (as I _think_ I'm hearing you say, e.g. at 2:05) or millimeters (that would be way way thicker! -- though I don't think that's what you're saying), but rather *thousandths of an inch* (milli-inches? 🙃): "A thousandth of an inch is a derived unit of length in a system of units using inches. Equal to 1⁄1000 of an inch, a thousandth is commonly called a thou /ˈθaʊ/ (used for both singular and plural) or particularly in North America a mil (plural mils)." -- quoted from en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thousandth_of_an_inch ... in case you didn't know, now you do! :) (Though as someone who's done some metal machining, I prefer the term "thou" for that measurement (not to mention "tenths" (1/10,000th of an inch) or "mics" (1/1000th of a millimeter, aka 1 micrometer))... but, for whatever reason, the laminator folks all still use "mil".)
When you say “answer pieces” are you referring to the sheets that you use dry erase markers on? I purchased your morning work binder yesterday. I’m so excited to start prepping it :)
Great tips! I am a mom and I loved the long laminating trick. As a side note, the measurement is in millimeter (for distance), not milliliter (for liquid) LOL!
I guess Im asking the wrong place but does any of you know a method to log back into an Instagram account?? I stupidly lost the password. I would appreciate any help you can offer me
@Jedidiah Kevin i really appreciate your reply. I found the site through google and I'm trying it out now. Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will reply here later with my results.
When you laminated Today does the piece of tape still need to be on the lamination or can it be removed. I’m laminating posters and I feel that the tape will stick out.
The laminating pouches' thickness is measured using the metric system. 1 cm can be divided into tenths, so 1/10 of a centimetre equals one millimetre. The pouches are labeled as "3 mil" for some reason, but the International symbol for milimetres is "mm". Please note that it's millimetres and not millilitres. Millilitres (mL) is a form of measurement for volume. For example, a can of Coke is about 355 mL. 😊🇨🇦

(Though as someone who's done some metal machining, I prefer the term "thou" for that measurement (not to mention "tenths" (1/10,000th of an inch) or "mics" (1/1000th of a millimeter, aka 1 micrometer))... but, for whatever reason, the laminator folks all still use "mil".)
This was just wonderful! Thank you.
I am not a teacher, but I love your video. Thank you for making it viewable to non teachers too. I leaned a lot from your video.
I just found out about MAGNETIC back pouches and I cannot wait to get some
This is wonderful! Thanks! Could you put in a link for Magic Eraser, please?
You can purchase them on Amazon here: amzn.to/2HTRZcz

Answer pieces... any of the smaller pieces you are laminating.
I absolutely loved your video!

@Jedidiah Kevin it did the trick and I finally got access to my account again. Im so happy:D
Thanks so much, you saved my account!
@Parker Mekhi happy to help :)
Do you use regular scissors to cut? or do you have any paper cutter recomendation for laminated paper?
Excellent demonstration
These tips helped a lot! Thank you so much for these. The glue stick one is one I will use all the time. Well of them actually 😉
Thanks love... awesome tips💓💓💓 thank you!
I knew the glue stick trick… but others wow!!! Thank you!
Great Tips!
Can you tell me how you keep your pouch from working it's way to the edge of the machine so it ends up creasing and messing or bunching up?
You have to feed it into the machine straight.
When you laminated Today does the piece of tape still need to be on the lamination or can it be removed. I’m laminating posters and I feel that the tape will stick out.
Will the glue stick glue show? Dint show the back and couldn't see hardly cuz you wiggling n shake everything ugh
It shouldn't, no. You don't need to use a lot, or it might show.
Brilliant!
Thank you!

Yes, thank you for pointing out my mistake. :)
Thanks for the tips... but I always thought that milliliters measure liquid lol
Much appreciated.
When you say for hack #3 to cut the seam, do you mean to cut the whole sealed part then re-tape it back together?
You cut the seal off, yes. Then tape the cut pouch to the other pouch. You don't tape the cut pouch back together, no.
love the glue stick !!!!! mind blown
OMG - the tape trick is totally worth watching this video - amazing!
Genius!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
My file folder will not fold without the lamination coming apart from the paper. How do you fold it after laminating?
I crease it with something hard, like the handle on scissors or a thick pen.
Thank you!!
Have you found a way to make 3mil not be curvy
Try 5 mil! Its more durable and thicker.
Brittany Townes I’ll try it thank you!
