Generally laminations are laid up in one layer to stacks of six layers being separated by polished plates (see Drawing
110545B). In building up a stack of laminations, be sure to have plastic sheets cut to the same size or slightly smaller
than the polished plates. A stack is made up as follows, beginning from the bottom.
1.
One holding plate.
2.
One, or two blotters.
3.
One polished plate.
4.
One plastic sheet (same size as polished plate).
5.
Piece to be laminated. For smaller pieces, two, four or more may be laminated in the same layer. A border left
around the edges for trimming - at least 1/4" (6.4mm) on all sides and 1/2" (12.5mm) between pieces is
necessary.
6.
One plastic sheet.
7.
Repeat setups (3) through (6) until the desired number of layers is reached (never more than six layers). Finish
last layer with one polished plate.
8.
One or two blotters. Blotters are used only on the top and bottom of the stack, between holding plates and the
out polished plates.
9.
Holding plate.
The stack is prepared as above and is then ready to be placed in the hot opening of the press for lamination. If fewer
than six layers are used, see time, temperature, pressure recommendations below.
