I’ve been working on some fun altered items lately and as a result of some of the techniques I’ve been working with some really sticky products. I have a small pair of non-stick scissors that I usually use for ‘sticky stuff’, but for these projects really needed to use a good, sharp and long pair of scissors. So I’ve been using my beloved big non-stick scissors, but even these have been gumming up.
In comes the Versamark. If you rub Versamark over the cutting edge of your scissors it keeps the scissors from gumming up, and I must admit it works brilliantly! I’ve never really had to use this before since I always use non-stick scissors, but even my prized scissors couldn’t stand up the the gluey messes I was cutting through. Versamark to the rescue. :)
If you are cutting through any type of gluey mess, or even if it’s just cutting double sided tape, try running a Versamark pad along the blade. The difference is amazing.
