Has onyone tried cutting this with a Cameo?

[Barbara Jay]

I have a couple of cut files for small intricate images. I want to put my cardstock through my Xyron before I cut them. I will leave the paper from the Xyron on the image and only peel it off after it is cut.

Does anyone think the Paper and adhesive on the card stock will be a problem to cut with the Cameo?

I don't want to mess up my new Cameo
Thanks
Barbara

I think the adhesive might gum up your blade.. why not cut them out first and then drop them into the Xyron? I would only try this if youhave an extra blade handy!!

Gumming up the blade was my concern too. Yet Silhouette sells double sided sticky backed paper to use in their machines .
I don't have any of their sticky backed paper.

After I use the Xyron on punched cut outs I use a small stylus to go around the entire outer edge to be sure the adhesive doesn't creep out. Going around a lot of intricate cuts would be a tedious job. Hum-m-m

I hate that, but the glue pick up eraser does work good too. I just wonder if the glue is the same on the Xyron as it is on the Silhouette paper? Try one! It might be good to find out! Let me know!

Have you considered using a spray adhesive on the intricate cuts after you've cut them out? It's my goto choice for this sort of thing. I can highly recommend Crafters Companion Stick & Spray- they have a US website too.The link goes to the permanent version, they also do a repositional one, which is great for refreshing your cutting sheet .
