The trick with FP is not to overheat the stuff, you only need to get it to 60 deg c or 140 deg F for it to be soft enough to work. If you want to cut shapes out of it, put the FP on kitchen foil in hot water (60 deg c) and then use a cutter. Let it cool, or place into cold water to harden before removing from the kitchen foil.<br />Once you have mastered some very simple key things, Friendly Plastic is very easy and forgving to work with. The thing is that it is not like other materials, so there is a little bit of a learning curve to get started.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6159837414417397085.post-76649353065776870722010-08-25T00:47:37.495-07:002010-08-25T00:47:37.495-07:00lovely heart...havent tried FP,dont think I will n...lovely heart...havent tried FP,dont think I will now!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6159837414417397085.post-61281878409803231072010-08-24T15:22:40.656-07:002010-08-24T15:22:40.656-07:00It's beautiful Lottie, and you have been so su...It's beautiful Lottie, and you have been so successful. I too own several sticks, but despite watching lots of demos have only produced lumps of rubbish. I can tell what yours is.

AND we had a big demo from one of the experts at our Stamp Club a few months ago. Guess who didn't go - just hate the stuff.
