Anybody using this system?

I use it.
It takes practise, hardest part for me was the spray glue, how much is enough and how much is too much.
On my rangemaster clone there was a little bit too much glue on the front panel, resulting in glue being not just behind the lettering but here and there.
I used some alcohol and got rid of almost all the residue. On the back panel, I use less glue (tried to learn from my mistake with the front panel), but I had this tiny text and unfortunately there were some chipping on the letters, not enough glue maybe? :)

Anyway, it's not like I will start using anything else, I really like it, just have to do more labels with it. The result looks really good!
I use the laminator recommended, I do NOT use a heat gun, tried with and without and I don't find it neccessary.

Here's the rangemaster I've done using it:





I live in Sweden so I bought it from UK:

I have also tried using the different foils, silver, gold glossy/satin... That is harder because if you are not careful when laminating you can get wrinkles on the foils, I got wrinkles, but luckily it is not so visible after the label is done and applied.
I really would recommend everything satin, stay away from glossy stuff as it is so glossy it can be impossible to read the text in certain viewing angles.
