Forgot To Tell You About Cutter Glide!

First let me explain why my last posts were so short...I have been very tired from work with the extra paperwork I have had this week and since I was short on time and I figured no one really reads what I write *okie thinks if they did they wouldn't ask her questions that are already answered in the descriptions of the projects* it didn't matter a hill of beans what I wrote. A few people think I am depressed, some think I am angry and then there are those who have been with me long enough to know their appropriate response should have been to laugh and they did! *okie loves it when folks get her sense of humor when she gets all creative and shit*

Now about the Cutter Glide! I ordered some back a few months ago when I had to order the new strip for my Pazzles and I took pictures and all that jazz and then never posted about the stuff...remember my squirrel problem! I think I tossed it in my cart when I was ordering the strip to make the shipping charges worth the price and I had been curious about the product. What I ordered came with the Cutter Glide Blade Treatment and the bottle of EZ Tool Cleaner and the price was $10.00, it is available on Amazon and Joann.com as well and the price seems to be comparable, especially when you look at shipping.

I had read that it is suppose to make your blades last longer and if you cut as much stinkin paper as I do you would love to have your blades last longer. I hear some folks say "oh I only change my blade once a year" or "I've never changed my blade since I got my machine" and it really makes me wonder if they even use the dang thangs! But then I have to remember that when I am cutting I am generally cutting in multiples of 6 when I make cards and even when I make altered objects I rarely make just one so my cutting tends to be something more along the lines of mass production and maybe that is why my blades don't last as long *okie knows she has said all that to just be polite because she still totally believes those beeches are just not using their machines*.

I knew it would be hard for me to test blades and see if the Cutter Glide really helped, especially since I don't have the patience for all the research techniques it would take for me to have an accurate report so the next best thing was to test it on my punches!  I barely had the patience to wait and test it on them so you can imagine what a horrible, miserable failure my research would be for the blades.

Okay look at this picture, and yes you can ooohh and ahhh at the maroon vinyl and yes it is more gorgeous in person than in the picture. The strip on the far right is how my Stampin Up Scallop Edge punch was punching paper *okie knows someone is going to send her a message and say 'okie you know you can sharpen those by punch foil' like okie is some dumbass that doesn't know things*. The middle picture was not long after I applied the Cutter Glide, and before I read the directions where it says something about letting dry for a few hours or possible overnight, and it is definitely an improvement. The picture on the left is when I punched a strip of paper the next day. As you can see there is most certainly improvement!

Now have I noticed a difference in my blades I treated? Well to be honest I don't know because I have all these dang blades in a drawer and I forgot which ones I treated and which ones I didn't! I guess I need to just get down all 24,872 blades I have up on the shelf *okie hopes people know she exaggerates at times* and treat them all at once.

I will say I have defintealy noticed a difference in my scissors! I use mounting foam for my pop dots and that stuff sticks to scissors like crazy. I am too lazy to clean my scissors each time and I generally end up with 4 pairs of scissors that covered in super sticky adhesive and clean them all at once. Since I applied the Cutter Glide I have only been using one pair of scissors for cutting my mounting foam and I think don't believe I have used the Undu on them but I do think I used the cleaner that came with the stuff maybe once.

The bottom line is that I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND this product!
