I bought the 3 pack of rotary blades (again). These were so stuck together they were impossible to separate. I tried using two hemostats after trying to slide them apart didn't work.I tried to wedge another blade between them. That didn't work. I really didn't want to end up telling this story in the Emergency Room, so I threw them down in frustration and walked away. Then I got the bright idea to load the whole stuck-together mess into the rotary cutter, and cut fabric. They then collected enough fabric threads/lint it kind of wedged them apart. I generally don't take the time to write manufacturers over stuff like this, but the more I stewed about I realized how *dangerous* that is. And how hard would it be to place tissue or waxed paper between them during packaging?? So I wrote to Fons and Porter. (and I was sure to tell them that I have loved every F&P product I've bought -- except this one). They wrote back and told me the blades have oil on them, and all I had to do was put on some kind of special glove (which I don't own)..and slide them apart. Duh. These blades were stuck together until the atom bomb drops. They weren't sliding anywhere. The last paragraph informed me that the proper method of loading the blade into my cutter was on the back of the package. Double duh. Thanks for the vent. I'm on bloodthinners. There's no way I am buying a F&P three-pack again. I'm a klutz to begin with, and that's a combo for disaster. Thank you, kind folks, for allowing this vent. :-)
