Plique a Jour using Potter USA dies. Part 1

[@hiba]

Came out lovely! And also love the die! what is this perticular die's name? couldn't find in their website..

[@merryleerae]

@@hiba I am not sure what the die is called but it has V265 as the identifying number. You might ask Annie Pennington at Potter to look for it.

@merryleerae okay thanks for the reference! 🙏

Can you give tips for drilling? My drill bit somehow won't go through. It used to be easy when I took a class and we had drill press, I now use flexshaft

[@merryleerae]

Hi May, usually if I am having trouble it is because I have a dull drill bit. First use a center punch to locate your hole placement, then use a lubricant like Burlife or beeswax. Run your flex shaft at a slow speed and make sure you aren’t running in reverse. If none of that works, you may have a dull drill bit. That is usually caused by getting it too hot by running it too fast. I hope that helps!
