Had the worst week of sticker production ever after I tried that UV laminate

I spent all last week making 50 bumper stickers with a new UV laminate I got off Amazon for $12. By day 3, the laminate was peeling off at the edges on every single one. I had to trash the whole batch and redo them with the old brand I used to use, which cost me an extra 8 hours of work. Has anyone else had trouble with cheap laminates ruining a big order?

Did you try heating the laminate before applying it?

Yeah I tried that on a 2008 Ford Focus hood. It made a big difference honestly. The heat gun helped the vinyl stretch around the curves without creasing. Just had to be careful not to hold it too long in one spot or it would bubble up. Use a low setting and keep it moving, that worked best for me. Did you use a heat gun or a hair dryer?
