Not all the canes need to be warmed to slice easy.. take a test slice or 2 to see..if you need to use more than firm pressure on the blade, warm it.. you can do this any number of ways.. if you use a regular incandescent lamp on your table, bring the lamp down close to the cane for a minute or so.. some girls pop them in the toaster oven on low for 15-30 seconds.. some place the cane in their bra :) in their pockets, a cup of really warm water.. There is a little you tube video linked from the canes pages in the Shoppe on slicing.. there is 3 tutorials linked also from the Canes FAQ >What is the easiest way to warm the canes up and is there a >fool-proof way of slicing them thinly?

How easy are they to use? >Does anyone have any photos of nails done with the papers? ahh.. easy one.. think wraps.. cut, tear the paper and lay into wet acrylic, the wet gel or dispersion layer, or use brush on glue, lay the paper and glue again.. cap it like you would anything else you embed with clear.. there was a few pics I did quick on the papers pages in the shoppe also for a look-see :) >I appreciate any help I can get. > >Thank you boys and girls :-) > >Chrissy, Brisbane, Australia > > > > >-- >You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google >Groups "NailTech" group. >To post to this group, send email to [email protected]. >To unsubscribe from this group, send email to >[email protected]. >For more options, visit this group at >http://groups.google.com/group/nailtech?hl=.
