The tape needs to be wider than the protractor, so you can place the protractor on the tape and then fold the tape over along the ruler-edge side of the protractor. This gives you a nice smooth ruler-edge for drawing your centreline. </span></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1435140012669_28768" dir="ltr" abp="11185"><span abp="11186"></span><br></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1435140012669_28770" dir="ltr" abp="11185"><span id="yui_3_16_0_1_1435140012669_28769" abp="11186">We tried using a thermal laminating machine. It was fine as long as we left a border of laminate around the edge of the protractor. But if we trimmed it flush with the protractor's ruler-edge, then the laminate invariably started splitting after only a few trips.</span></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1435140012669_31703" dir="ltr" abp="11185"><span abp="11186"></span><br></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1435140012669_31704" dir="ltr" abp="11185"><span abp="11186">Cheers,<br abp="11194">Erin</span></div></span><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1435140012669_19912" dir="ltr" abp="11054"><br></div> <br><div class="qtdSeparateBR"><br><br></div><div class="yahoo_quoted" style="display: block;"> <div style="font-family: Helvetica Neue-Light, Helvetica Neue Light, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, Sans-Serif; font-size: 16px;"> <div style="font-family: HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, Sans-Serif; font-size: 16px;"> <div dir="ltr"> <font face="Arial" size="2"> On Tuesday, 23 June 2015, 5:00, Martin Sluka <martinsluka@mac.com> wrote:<br> </font> </div> <blockquote style="padding-left: 5px; margin-top: 5px; margin-left: 5px; border-left-color: rgb(16, 16, 255); border-left-width: 2px; border-left-style: solid;"> <br><br> <div class="y_msg_container"><br clear="none">> 19. 6. 2015 v 13:32, Wookey <<a href="mailto:wookey@wookware.org" shape="rect" ymailto="mailto:wookey@wookware.org">wookey@wookware.org</a>>:<br clear="none">> <br clear="none">> Years ago Martin S sent me some really nice robust ones.<br clear="none"><br clear="none">It was „printed“ on film in imagesetter machine (<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imagesetter" target="_blank" shape="rect">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imagesetter</a>).
