BEST GLUE: E6000 Industrial Glue. Comes in a tube and is
clear. Sticks plastic to plastic or plastic to metal. Use double
stick carpet tape and double stick foam pads especially
when children are involved.
GOOF-UPS: If , after baking, you are not happy with shape
created, you can return SD pieces into oven. Bake until
piece re-softens and lays nearly flat. (approximately 2-5 minutes.)
ETCHING: You can etch designs into our plastics after
baking or fusing. Use the tip of an Exacto knife or Etching
tool used for scratch art. Sweep artist pencils across surface
of scratched areas. Wipe pencil dust off. Seal with clear
acrylic.

A standard sized Paper Punch is
