Inside Revolution

Over the weekend, as we were hanging out on our creative table, I was trying to use my revolution tool to tryout my newly bought embossing folder.

I arranged the paper in between the folder, put it between the platform top and a mat labeled 'embossing'.

I was a little skeptical when i put on the platform but looking at how sturdy revolution appeared, I put utter faith on my much loved machine and start cranking the roller. It

went fine until halfway, it just wouldn't budge further.

Panic, I started cranking twice as fast but it simply wouldn't move!

-Putting into the freezer thinking that the platform would shrink - tried and failed

-Hammering the platform (out of frustration) - tried and failed badly. Platform got dented

- Soaking revolution, paper became soft - tried and nothing happens

At this point, I wanted to give up. Finally, we looked for the well

hidden screws and cranked open up the revolution. We took

pieces and screws out carefully and I manage to get the folder out. Revolution is saved!

Moral of story is, please do attempt to force when there only that much thickness revolution can take.

Also, please do not attempt to chill, hammer and soak revolution when there is a jammed paper inside because it does not work!

The paper and folder that got stuck

Not only hammering doesn't work. It creates dent and disfigured the platform.
