THESE ARE MOST EASILY USED WITH A HYDRAULIC PRESS, BUT YOU CAN ALSO USE THEM IN A VISE.  PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT!  WE CUT THESE WITH OUR LASER - SO THE EDGES ARE NICE AND SMOOTH FOR PERFECT RESULTS. 
THE LASER BURNS THROUGH THE ACRYLIC SO THERE MAYBE SOME SLIGHT DISCOLORATION ON THE CLEAR ACRYLIC - THIS DOES NOT AFFECT HOW THE DIES WORK.

Please check out Barrie Edwards New Tutorial on using these dies without a press or vice!  www.barrieedwards.com

We had a computer CRASH, and Lost all our Files for making these Dies -- We are redoing them ASAP - But we are VERY busy preparing for Christmas Shows... So they likely won't be ready again until Mid December!!  SO sorry for the inconvenience!
