I'm a convert. It sounds like a good method.......my only concern is if it is not centered perfectly an I have to slide it a bit. Nice job! Rob 1 Quote

rdatelle Posted March 3, 2018 Report Posted March 3, 2018 Great cutting and another great idea. I'll have to try that. I guess it depends on how much glue you put on the wax paper. Rob 1 Quote

I guess it depends on how much glue you put on the wax paper. MODERATION!! Get the glue about as thin as you can get it, otherwise it will squeeze out. I drop the cut piece on the wax paper, pick it up, rotate somewhat & drop it a second time. That way you catch any spot where you troweled the glue too thin. Gordster and 3Dface 2 Quote
Lucky2 Posted March 4, 2018 Report Posted March 4, 2018 Nicely done Rob, and yes Jerry is right on the ball. He has a never ending supply of helpful information, and he generously shares it with us all. Len Rob 1 Quote

Chunkthekid Posted March 5, 2018 Report Posted March 5, 2018 Great cut. Thanks for pointing out Jerry's idea. I hadn't seen that post and it is an issue I haven't quite figured out yet. I will give it a shot on my next piece. Rob 1 Quote

Rob Posted March 5, 2018 Author Report Posted March 5, 2018 Personally, yes, I do apply weight then remove it and check for squeeze out. Then re-apply the weight and leave it to set. Rob Quote

I usually put on a clamp or 2 to make sure it hasn't/won't move. Apply weight or more clamps. 3Dface 1 Quote
