Abstract: A method for producing a soft convex adhesive wafer for attaching an ostomy appliance to a peristomal skin surface surrounding a stoma. In one embodiment, the method includes providing a resilient laminating pad adapted for being displaced to and fro in a laminating direction and that exerts a laminating pressure in the laminating direction, providing a plane counter-pressure surface at substantially right angles to the laminating direction, placing the wafer on the counter-pressure surface, and displacing the laminating pad in the laminating direction so that laminating pressure is exerted on an entire distal surface of the wafer by the laminating pad.
