Tips from the show

• Get your heat gun as hot as possible before applying it to the powder – this prevents warping and cockling of the card.
• Apply heat only until the powder changes colour, then stop immediately to avoid damaging the card fibres.
• Use an anti-static powder applicator before stamping to keep your work clean and prevent powder sticking where you don't want it.
