<div dir="ltr">I use the Demco Vista-foil. It's like clear contact paper, comes on a roll so you can cut whatever size you want. I prefer to buy the glossy finish Vista-foil because it hides the little air bubbles better than the matte finish. If the kids see air bubbles, they try to poke them with pens and pencils and eventually rip holes in the cover... and then I have to give the kids that "WTF look." The glossy finish smooths out better with fewer air bubbles and camouflages the ones you cant get out. Matte finish shows every imperfection left behind during the covering process.</div><div class="gmail_extra"><br clear="all"><div><div class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div><font color="#0000ff" size="4" face="times new roman, serif"><strong><em>Amanda Kuzminski</em></strong></font></div><div><font color="#0000ff" size="2" face="times new roman, serif"><strong><em>Library Media Specialist</em></strong></font></div><div><font color="#0000ff" size="1" face="times new roman, serif">Orland Junior High School</font></div><div><font color="#0000ff" size="1" face="times new roman, serif">Orland Park, IL</font></div><div><font color="#0000ff" face="times new roman, serif">708-364-4214</font></div><div><font face="garamond,serif" size="2" color="#351c75"><i><br></i></font></div><div><font face="times new roman, serif" size="2" color="#351c75"><b>No trees were destroyed in the sending of this message, but a large number of electrons were terribly inconvenienced.<br></b></font></div><div><font face="times new roman, serif" size="2" color="#351c75"><b> - <font style="font-style:italic">Neil DeGrasse Tyson, astrophysicist</font></b></font></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>
