Tutorial Request - How To Use a Burnisher
Hi team.
I have had a little play with a burnisher to some success on the outside of a skin flattening the edges. Wondered if there were any tutorials on using a burnisher, in particular, using it to push the skin out from the inside to round it off. Indeed if anyone has any hints and tips that would be a great start. I know that Yogi mentioned making sure you have something to press against but other than that I am a little lost. Maybe I am over analyzing this and it is more of a practice makes perfect skill rather than a here is 20 steps to burnishing skill. Thanks for reading and sorry if this is in the wrong thread.

I too would like to see such a tut! That's a skill that differentiates between artists and builders! |

Jim, I did a little bit of what I think you're asking about starting with this post:

Hi Jim,
Don't know if I understand what you are trying to do. Big Models have lots of folding and to crease/score the fold line I found an ideal embosser. It is called the Empressor and has 4-different sized tips. One end is spring loaded, it is a nice, comfortable tool to use. When I found it, there was a product called "Paper Glide". It claims to have uses for "Dry Embossing, Punching, Cutting, Folding" Paper products. It mentions on the bottle,"Forget Wax Paper". So, after checking what this meant, looks like there is a way to rub, or maybe just trace over the wax paper to get a smooth glide with the embosser. The paper Glide works great, except as the bottle gets older the spray isn't a fine mist anymore, and it leaves "puddles" that can stain the ink. It does make a major difference on how easy the tip glides insteads of digs into the cardstock. The empressor is sold at Target Stores, is comfortable and is the best I've used so far! Mike |

I imagine being relatively new and being obliged to type over 9 messages a day would limit ones ability to become familiar with both the facilities of and earlier discussions on any forum. Might I perhaps suggest entering words like "burnishing", "burnishers" or such like into the search function in order to save on your total typing effort.
