Patience is crucial but so is practice. This particular kit is one of the simpler kits, but still a serious challenge for a 1st timer.

Thanks. I'll be starting over since my PE kits aren't here yet... Re-ordered the base model and forms from GPM. I will use this kit for practice and spares. My next biggest fear is how to laminate using CA. The glues I got Zap and Roket say to use 1 drop per square inch or something like that. Do I just dot-grid the back of the paper and roll onto cardboard? Would I need to spread with an old credit card? When I did a touch point test with CA on non matte sprayed paper it soaked through and darkened the other side. Will my planned Micador matte spraying prevent this with CA glue? I was using and probably will still use UHU for the card forms, however, I will be more precise and sparing with it as it's stringy and gummy.
