Thanks everyone. It's funny cause when I was given instructions initially I was told to use a slot instead of a punch. I started to use my slot (old one) when it snapped in two. It was not like the ones now that are one solid piece, I see why the improvement. I will make more wristbands and I will try my new slots. So I will put on my thong and get my thong chisel and do it that way next time.
Thanks for the support my peeps. Yeah, I'm ghetto like that.
