Members KWT Posted May 2, 2009 Members Report Posted May 2, 2009 I use a thin piece of cardboard (about the thickness that comes in dress shirt packages) to cover the parts of craftaids I don't want in my project. However; I like the painter's tape idea better. I think it would be more flexible and easier to use. Quote Everyone seeks happiness! The problem is not that we seek it too much.

Members Tkleather1 Posted May 2, 2009 Members Report Posted May 2, 2009 I would get as thick of a peice of granite as you can up to about 3 to four inch. I to started with a peice of one inch and after a long day of basket stamping it broke. I have since (about three years ago or more) upgraded to a peice of 3" smooth concrete and had zero problems and it works great.
