actually, there is another type of lamination, where the glue or whatever it is is ONLY on the parts where the paper isn't (around the edge).
I had a long daybill which was like this.
I removed myself. It got restored and now lives in one of our favourite collectors house.
laminated lobby cards do make great place mats though, and a 2F or 2p would be a good table cloth, and 24sheets can be fashioned into a marquee for an outdoor wedding. just some ideas..
