Also the regulations in Ontario, Canada - unless the file can be disinfected such as a metal file, files are considered a one-use item and must be disposed of after each client. I use my efile for finishing, then a metal file to refine the sidewalls and free edge. I also use the metal file on my natural nail clients for manis & pedis. If I feel the need to refine my finishing work a bit more, I will use a disposable file and offer it to the client after the service.

Pam I use the efile 95%. I only use my regular file for shaping. For natural manicures, I either use a large metal file I get from JoAnn Ultronics, or I use those little cheap little things, that would fall apart if they even got near water. I have so many different bits, you can find one for each one of your steps. I use different barrells to take the length down, Just hold onto the tip of the finger (the ball) and start taking the length down. Hope this helps some. Once you get to used to it, you will be fine. Good Luck. diana from indiana At 12:54 AM 10/11/2012, you wrote: >Hi Teks, > here in Ohio, the State Board of Cos. has decreed that we use a >brand new file for each client each and every time.
