Poof-Daddy Inner circle Considering Stopping At Exactly 5313 Posts |
I did a search and everything that came up was 2014 or before (and a lot of the 2014 was me wanting to get one). Well, I finally did get one. Even though I have been making gaffs with DMT for a while now, I have only been following the ebook from www.lybrary.com called Gaff Factory - https://www.lybrary.com/the-gaff-factory......750.html
It is a fantastic book and my gaffs have been pretty good. My only problem that I never seemed to get past was lining all the layers together and keeping them together thru the heat treatment with my craft/hobby iron I got from a remote control car and airplane hobby shop. With the Genii, no more problems and my gaffs are coming out crisper and more like a regular printed card. I have noticed if I make a D/F with 2 layers of DMT (per instructions), I can still see thru with some light in the background. Not horrible, but "I" notice it. Does anyone have a workaround for this besides keeping one side of the split with the 2 layer (thus a grey center but a hair thicker). Also, what brand and details are the DMT sheets you are finding work best. I am looking forward to making some very specific custom gaffs for my own use. My first "test set" went really good. I made a set of gaffs for Simon Aronson's "Ad-Jacent" putting a red Phoenix back on one side of a "Poker Bingo" ad card and a "9/D" on one side of a "Cutta Numba" ad card (both are ad cards that come with Phoenix decks and are cheat sheets for Tamariz and Aronson stacks). These cards turned out perfect which was a big deal to me because these particular cards are handled by the spec. Anyway, I just want to get some tips from those who are more experienced working with this wonderful tool. PM me if you feel more comfortable but this is really a discussion of different adhesives and "arts and craft tips".
