Hello there everyone, today I have a very quick post but something I hope many of you will find useful.
What you will need:
Helmar H4000 Silicone Spray
As I was going through some of my metals dies I chose a couple that I wanted to use.
I wanted to use a particular die with a heavy weight card stock but was having problems with the paper releasing, even rubbing some baking paper on the die as a release wasn't really working. I found the card stock hard to remove and pieces of the finished die were getting ripped off.
Even using the release brush and a pokey tool was taking far too long for each die.
I then decided I would give my Helmar H4000 Silicone Spray a try. I placed my die (cutting side up) on a sheet of paper in a well ventilated area and after shaking the can, I sprayed the die at about a distance of 20cm away.
I allowed this to dry (didn't take long), the paper around the die took longer to dry than the actual die and there was no oily residue on the metal at all.
I then ran my die through the machine and it released the heavy weight card stock much better than before. The die was very clean and came away easily.
Even removing the tiny little pieces in the metal die was so much easier to do.
So if you happen to have an intricate metal die that you would like to use more or with heavier weight paper/card stock why not give Helmar H4000 Silicone Spray a try, you can even just spray your metal dies in general for upkeep with this great product.
Thank you so much for stopping by the blog today, take care 🙂
