So her procedure was something like this - put the hard plastic in the acetone, wait til it disintegrated, then dip in your lace and put your lace into position - the acetone would dissipate, leaving your dry lace infused with hard plastic. >No word about how long it would last.
Hey, that might work well for bookmarks you give away as presents. I guess you want them to last, but don't consider them as heirloom items? It probably would look nicer than laminating, and I guess it wouldn't be more damaging? Helene, the froggy from Melbourne Find local movie times and trailers on Yahoo!
