It works, but she has issues with her hands, and the tool is too heavy for her to use.. her hands and wrists were hurting while trying it out. For myself, my technique is to rub the die with a used dryer sheet, then run the die normally. As long as there is some stuff on the dryer sheet, it works pretty well.Froggietalkshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05751307367418060066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6015468895399217888.post-74074193783405162902014-05-25T17:48:50.361-07:002014-05-25T17:48:50.361-07:00I use an awl now - like you, Suzanne, I've got...I use an awl now - like you, Suzanne, I've gotten pretty danged quick about it, but it's a pain in the tuchas! As for a sheen from the waxed paper, which I also use, I learned a long time ago - stamp first, cut second. It's a lot easier to line up the die so the stamping is where you want it, than it is to stamp an already cut piece as nicely as you want. At least for me! Am looking forward to the new Spellbinders tool when it comes out.Jonihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12536600916939072208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6015468895399217888.post-26752398107518071652014-05-23T21:11:46.901-07:002014-05-23T21:11:46.901-07:00I have used wax paper, Tim Holtz Craft Pick, &...I have used wax paper, Tim Holtz Craft Pick, & a toothbrush.

I was skeptical, but used it twice on some very detailed dies and it worked like a charm!
