Hello Friends
Today it’s all about your paper trimmer. After many use, it’s like a car it needs a good tune-up. It is amazing how better the blade slides after a good tune-up. I share the tune-up for the old-style paper trimmer a few years ago and so many were amazed on how their trimmer was cutter after the tune-up. This is very similar but some parts of the trimmer are different.
Here what you will need is some W-40 or lemon Oil or another thing that works great is the little adhesive remover pad. You will need to wipe all surfaces, the track, the arm (remove the blade when doing the tune-up), and then a toothbrush to clean the track. If you cut glimmer paper all the glimmer gets inside the track and the fiber of the paper also gets inside the track. The toothbrush will remove the glitter and fibers.
What you need for the tune-up
Very little product needed for a good tune-up. Here the 3 thing
- W-40 or lemon oil
- rag or paper towel
- Toothbrush
Just like a car after so many miles all products need a good tune-up. Also, the cutting blade needs to change just like you would change the tire on your car ? but trust me you will know when it is time to change the blade, the cut gets frayed then you know its time for a new blade.
I have a video that you can find at the bottom of this blog post or you can view it on my Youtube Channel.
