Step 2Preparing the Board
I usually print out a test page onto normal paper to check everything is OK before using Magazine paper. I then use this to cut the raw board to shape.
Use masking tape to fix the paper in place, then cut it out using your rotary tool and the cutting disk attachment. It should make easy work of the fiber board, just make sure you try to keep the disk vertical and the lines as straight as you can.
Next you'll need to prep the board for transfer. You can do this many ways, but I prefer to give it a quick clean with washing up liquid, then use really fine grade sand paper to take the top layer off, rinse it under a cold tap, then using a scouring sponge and some alcohol I give it a last go over before rinsing it off again and drying with a clean towel.
The aim is to have a really smooth, blemish free surface with no grease (so watch those fingers!)
