Plan-It

I took it back out, scraped down the edges gently with the 3M squeegee to flatten out any rough spots, turned it around, and put it in again. It still wasn't easy, but I think it's finally in place. Still seems MUCH more difficult to put in than I would have expected.

Is it really that easy? I am having a really hard time getting the new one in place ... I've been trying for an hour and it will snap in for a few inches, then get caught. What am I missing?

How hard should it be to replace the teflon strip? I bought the strip from US Cutter, so I know it is the correct one, but I just spent an hour trying to replace it and I still have a couple of "bumps" where it won't go in all the way. I am a 175 pound man and have put all my weight on the strip, using a 3M gold squeegee laid flat and my thumbs, to press it in place. In desperation I then took a piece of 1/2" sintra, laid that flat, and hit it with a hammer! It still will not go in. The old strip, which came with the machine, I had turned around about six months ago to use the other side, and it slipped in without the slightest problem. I am just amazed at how hard it is to get this strip in place, there is no way my wife could replace it. Is there a trick I'm missing? Creation P-630

I find if I am cutting and pasting from Corel, that if it's in the middle of the page in Corel, it winds up on the work surface. If not, it winds up off screen somewhere. Don't know if that's helpful for your situation.
