<p>A coating (12), particularly a silicone release coating, applied to a base layer (10), e.g. a moving web of paper, is cured by applying direct heat from a flame (214). The curing occurs almost instantaneously across the base layer (10) and moisture loss from the base layer is reduced to such an extent that a subsequent re-humidifying step can be omitted. The invention is particularly useful in the manufacture of laminated, self-adhesive products (10, 12, 14, 16) such as 'peel and stick' labels.</p> |
