Rip off of the year.

Truckster,

Is the new ARB Southern store in the same location or have they moved?Just Do It!

Truckster, I brought the clear plastic sticky stuff you cover kid's books with & did my own works a treat & easy to fold.Regards Bob

trckster anouther option
is to take it to your local sign shop that does digital printing & have all your maps printed onto vynle banner material, it will be expensive usauly around $75to $85 per metre but dependant on the size of your maps you willprobably get more than one map per metre the advantage is that they will be a lot easer to roll & store
Regards Bruce

Go for the CONTACT option (clear sticky plastic).
We use it at work a hell of a lot for the maps we use. Works a treat and lasts for years.
Best way (we have found) to put it on is to use two people.
Cut your piece of contact slightly larger than the map.
Carefully peel the paper backing off.
Carefully flip it over, stretch out all four corners and lower down onto map. Starting from centre and working your way out and then down, using a cloth or hands firm down contact onto map and IF you get air bubbles make a small nick to release air and refirm down and then trim to size.
Hope this helps
CheersKeep your powder dry

Hey truckster... a little off topic, but is that the place that had the Engels cheap (ARB southern)? Ive been looking at a 60 litre jobbie.

Truckster,
If you are still keen on laminating, try The Laminating Shop at 1 Blackburn Road, Blackburn.

Hi Truckster

Here is a bit more info for you ...

Information Victoria in Melbourne (356 Collins Street) will laminate maps for $6.50 each. They also have a vast range of maps (tel: 1300 366 356).

Also, there is a new product called Map Seal available, which you paint onto both sides of the map. They say it will waterproof your map and you can still write on it (i havn't tried it myself). It's available at the Australian Geographic shops, $24.95 for a 236 ml bottle & brush. I don't know how many maps you would get to seal out of one bottle - I don't think you would save anything where comparing laminated vs Map Seal.
