Just got mine today, I let it heat up, but no matter how many times I pass the document through the edges aren't sealing, Ideas?

I find the immediate edges don't seal. I usually run mine through twice but flipped upside down on the second pass. I use it for insurance cards, business card, nothing really important. It doesn't really bother me. Did you use the sheets that came with it? Maybe try a different brand of sheets.

Is the document too close to the pocket edge? Make sure it is set at hot not cold laminating setting unless you are laminating something thin i.e. a newspaper clipping. Maybe re-read instructions again as well.

Make sure that the hot button is on. The first time I used it, i ran it cold and it did not seal. It takes about 2-3 mins to really heat up.

that has not happened here with mine. Every item has come out perfect. I'm thinking you have a defective one that does not heat up enough. Oh Dear, now that is a hassle.

I would send it back as faulty. I have never had a problem with my machine.

I didn't have any trouble with the plastic sleeves. I just used my Purple cow today and no problem. I have only used it HOT. Maybe the sleeves they sent you are too old and thus not sealing properly...... check with Purple Cow about this.

I'm having trouble with the sand paper as well. whether it is an old or new sheet of sand paper, it just refuses to stay on... Anyone have some suggestions?

Sorry, I have the same issue and didn't know what to do, so I glued the one cup that had cracked at the top seam...which kept the liquid out of the inside gap...other than that, they keep things hot longer, so I keep it with the cracks and all.

I didn't have this problem but if you do, you may try to stick a piece of adhesive tape in the corner on the back to pull the paper?

I've had mine for a while now and have had no problems with the seals or the pan. I've cooked everything from plain rice to chill. The chill I would leave on warm for most of the night.

I've not had it happen; the paper probably is the key. Something slick might be more of a problem, but I've not done anything that the glue hasn't held it well.

One of the answers I read here was that you need to remove the cover. Hope that helps.

Lisa I had the same problem. I believe it has something to do with the sealer they put on the faux wood. I bought a different cover and the problem has pretty much gone away. I like the fire put but there definately is an issue that the manufacturer should address.Jeff

Check the rubber gasket. If it is getting brittle, it will not seal. A cheap, easy fix.

I have used these several times and did not experience that situation. You might try using an exacto knife to get the paper started...it has a very thin blade and a sharp narrow point. You might also try warming it up with a hair dryer. Hope this is your solution!

Had a similar experience. Bought a higher quality protector and put pieces of paper over to get cover on then pulled paper out.

I'm sorry to hear that but I don't have that issue with mine. I'm very pleased with the way my machine operates. Maybe check to make sure there are no clogs in the cover opening.

I had the same problem, so I reduced the heat to 375 & increased the time by a couple of minutes. You'll still need to keep a sharp eye on them, however, so the edges don't burn.

Not enough information to answer directly. Most Common cause would be battery are wires incorrectly placed. Compartment is very tight, be sure your battery are seated correctly, and the wires are neatly tucked. Second make sure the rubber band strap is not streached out. A worn out rubber band will not have the power to pull the lid down for a good seal.without seeing pics thats the best I can do. Good luck mines 2 years old and still going strong.

Have you tried putting tape on it (regular clear tape usually works) and peeling it off repeatedly. It sounds wonky, but it works because the bits of gunk stick to the tape.

I did adjust the closure and made sure the seal was okay. That seems to have taken care of the problem the last couple of times I used it.

You should contact the manufacturer. I am just using a sealing clip at the moment.
