| Punch Basics |
Use 3L's photo tape or Therm-O-Web's "Keep a Memory"
Adhesive tape on the paper BEFORE punching it. This makes
adhering the punched shapes very easy. There are also liquid
adhesives that come in dispensers, like ZIG 2 Way Glue that are
useful to adhere punched shapes.

Maintenance |
Punches are made of metal and need to be lubricated. To
lubricate them, use a double thickness of waxed paper. Some
punches need more lubrication than others. Many of the border
punches will not work right until they are lubricated
thoroughly. For a punch that needs extra lubrication, turn it
upside down and spray with silicone spray, Amway Wonder Mist,
WD-40 or apply a drop of sewing machine oil. Then take some
scraps of paper (newsprint works very well) and punch until no
trace of oil appears on the punched paper.
