punchies

I don't punch the paper after it has been glued. I figure the extra glue will gum up my punches. Especially the small ones. If the punch is detailed. You don't want to stand on it or hit it. I had one break before. Punch your design, then run it through your xyron. It will work much better for you. :) Connie K

Ahhh, ok - that makes sense! I knew someone could see the forest for the trees for me :) Thanks Connie!

upside-down

i was told to punch some tinfoil (hmm aluminam (sp) foil?) as well as grease proof paper to keep them sharp n cutty-like :) When mine wouldnt cut bugger all that seemed to fix it. HTH

upside-down

I always punch upside down. I line my paper up and lay one hand flat over the punch and then smack it w/ my other hand. Sometimes I have to smack twice. I even hold my thumb punches upside down. You waste less paper if you can see where you're punching. What I hate is when the punch won't release and it gets locked up w/ your paper in it.

Ahh I will try that too, thank you! Lori :)

Thanks! Yeah, that is what is happening, the punch wont release.
