What should I do about my improperly sealed laminated posters?

abbie normal asked:

I laminated some posters and card stock lettering for my classroom using a new laminator the other day. I was in a hurry (although I did let the laminating machine heat up properly) and didn’t pay attention to the fact that some of the laminating film on the front side of the paper did not completely adhere. When I got home with my posters and letters to cut them out, I realized that quite a few of my letters have laminating film that is only partially attached on the front side. What should I do about this? I tried using a very hot hair dryer with minimum success. Can I use an iron to heat them? I don’t want to mess up the posters or letters, as I spent quite a bit for them and my teacher’s salary doesn’t provide for a lot of extras. Thanks for the advice!
