Thank you for your question. Although thermal laminating pouches have adhesive that is activated by the lamination process the glue stick better to itself than to the paper. You can trim it down but if it is trimmed down to the edge of the page it does break the seal around the edge and there is the potential for it to peal. This is a situation i would recommend making a sample testing how well the adhesive will stick to the stock you are using.

Thank you for your question. If you are getting cloudy results generally speaking it is because the laminate isn't getting hot enough for long enough. Both options are potential fixes, but there is not a specific resolution for all situations. I would first lower the speed and if you are still seeing cloudy results gradually increase the temperature. Running it at too hot of a temperature can cause the laminate to melt too much so be sure raise the temperature in steps and test each step to find the ideal temperature for your specific project.
