I put my plates one at a time on a baking sheet to large for my oven. I put the temp at 200 and the door was ajar about 5 Inches. I watched them carefully and pulled the out and put on a bread board. Worked great ! Thank you
Thank you for this tip, I rarely use the Gemini Jr. because of this. You would think since they know this is such a problem they would lower the price on the plates.
I use my Gemini Jr all the time and I only have the Cuttlebug to compare. My Cuttlebug plates never warped. Although the Gemini is amazing at die cutting intricate dies because it uses a lot of pressure this is probably why the plates warp more.
Holy smokes, great tip! Thanks Tina!
Thank you!!! 🥰 It’s saved me from having to buy new plates so often.
I know I am late to the game but I cannot express how grateful I am for finding this video!!! I followed your instructions and it worked perfect !!!!! Thanks so much!!!
You are welcome! It’s a great alternative to provide more life to your plates. It can be done many times. Believe me I know!!! Lol
I can’t believe how well this worked!! Wish I could include a picture!!
Believe me I know. Lol.
Great tip, thank you!
Thank you Becky! 💖🥰
Tina, I tried this and the only problem I had was that on the ends that touch the machine, the tape starts to wear. I was afraid it would get stuck in my machine and so I just taped the 2 end that do not actually touch the machine. Thank you for the tip - it's great!!
If you go over it with a bone folder it is enough to keep the two ends down. I haven’t had an issue with the tape wearing out. But it should be enough with just the two sides.
@@tinaguiguidornbaum2778 thank you!
Will be trying this. I threw away 6 die plates while making Christmas cards this last year. :-(
I know the feeling. I had thrown away a few myself.
Why not put the hot pot on top to flatten your plate?
Thank you!!!!
You are welcome! 😀
Ohmygosh I just started using my new cutting plate but after cutting quite a few dies it it has broken and shattered but is in one piece still but my steel shim and small shim also bends and rolls up and I have nooo idea how to stop the rolling of the shins! Any ideas?? TIA Tracey
Tried it several times on different plates, didn't work.
I have used this technique on different plates and sizes. I have no problem. Did you apply the weight right after pouring the water?
Can you use same technique on the midi folders
Yes you can do this to the mini plates as well. Just add the pressure in the hot water.
It's a great idea...but I found my plastic shim still warped. It's like a big bubble in the center. :(
My plastic shim was also warped in the center. Taping it has helped. I have used the taped setup for a few days with lots of die cutting and so far so good. I am going to try the boiling water on the plastic shim to see if it helps. I will keep you posted if that helped.
@@tinaguiguidornbaum2778 I may try that as well. Fingers crossed. 🤞
Can you do that with the plastic shim as that drives me crazy!
I am not sure if it will work. I didn’t try it because at the time I did the video I didn’t have an extra one. I have just received a new one so I will be testing it out. I will let you know if it worked.
@@tinaguiguidornbaum2778 brilliant thank you I know it won’t iron flat I have tried it :/
It worked with my plastic shim also.
