HOT FOILING WITH TODO™ CONTINUED...
ALWAYS turn your TODO machine off immediately after you have finished
foiling. The plate will take approximately 30 minutes to cool down in order for
you to continue working with the machine.
TIP: Experiment with different materials with your foiling, don't be afraid to try things like corduroy or
mount board. Remember the thicker the item you are foiling, the less pressure you will need on your
machine.
DIE REMOVAL TOOL
A die removal tool and silicone mat has been provided to remove the hot foiling
stamp from the base plate in order to change designs or reposition; do not use
your fingers.
Using the silicone end to hold the die removal tool, position the tool over the hot
foiling stamp so that the magnetic end securely holds the stamp in place. Once in
position, the removal tool will use the magnet on it's metal base to hold the stamp
or die in position.
Place the hot foil stamp on the silicone mat and carefully remove the tool from the
stamp. Some of the smaller/thinner stamps might be difficult to release from the
magnet. To assist with this, fold over the corner of the silicone mat with your finger
and thumb, using a pinching motion release the stamp from the magnet.
Leave the hot foil stamp on the silicone mat until it has cooled down.
DO NOT TOUCH THE HOT DIES WITH YOUR FINGERS.
