Embossing on Acetate

[The_Lady_Boz]

Hi! Can any cardmakers help?

I am trying out stamping and embossing on acetate. Is there anything I can sweep over the acetate to remove static as there always seems to be some static speckles left around the image after I've heat embossed.

thanks!

Hi Jennie, I use a anti static bag. Actually I use it on everything that I emboss. People have be known to get the same results using a used tumble dryer sheet but I havn't tried that so cant comment. Also I dont know if your acetate is heat resistant, if it is forgive me for saying but cre8tive also sell some really nice heat resistant acetate

Hope that helps

Thanks, Natasha and thanks for the tip about the heat resistant acetate, I'll check this out.

You can make you own anti static bags out of a piece from some old tights and talcum powder. I definitely prefer my little anti static bag, but it sometimes wanders off and loses itself under all my clutter so I have to resort to the tights version. Like Natasha I find it great for all my heat embossing, and I sometimes use it too if I'm just stamping on slippery surfaces like acetate.
