I’ve recently found a similar video. A lady heating her plates in a tray in the sink with boiling water for 20 mins. Soaking. She weighted it down with more boiling water to keep the heat going. It worked. Her husband (engineer, scientist ) said please don’t do it in the over at higher temperatures because Perspex plastic will release toxic fumes! Maybe not at 170 degrees C, I don’t know, but listen, it could. Also listen because it works at only boiling point, 100deg C, so it’s not necessary to heat up your whole oven, just boil some water. Getting the plates wet also releases all the bits into the water, as if by magic! As the plastic relaxes. She didn’t wrap them in foil either.

I will try that, thanks I think we should all get together N inform the company they NEED to improve the cutting plates this is ridiculous each time we have to either try and straighten it out ourselves from boiling water or put it in the oven or just buying new ones. This is so unacceptable. What do U think.

I am new to this. Got my big shot foldaway for Christmas & already it’s warped. I tried using a blow dryer which didn’t help. I wonder if this is partly why it’s being discontinued. @@hp77

I haven’t used any directions on straightening my plates, I haven’t found that need to except for one set, and I already had extra ones so I guess in the future I’ll be using directions to straighten them! The KZread creator’s name that the lady below mentioned is Jennifer McGuire. If you search warped plates in her channel you’ll find her video. An interesting tidbit is her husband was on the team that invented Press and Seal! Thanks to Angela for letting us know how she straightens her plates!

This is brilliant! One thing that I also do to prolong the life of the plates is I always put a piece of that super thick, hard craft paper between the cutting part of the die and the plate. Not only does it significantly reduce where on the cutting plate, but then whatever paper I am actually cutting doesn’t end up getting embossed with scratches from the cutting plate.

Well done

Oh my gosh, you have no idea how this drives me crazy and how many plates I have gone thru with my die cut machine! Thank you SO MUCH for doing this video for us!! You are a life saver $$$$

Wow! I was about to buy some new plates Thank you so much

Thank you Angela from an 88-year young woman in New Zealand. You'r a life saver. xx

Hello, thank you so much for sharing this video! I just tired it with my Spellbinders cutting plate and it worked like magic!! For me, this works so much better than using boiling water!

Brilliant!! Thx for sharing.

Thankyou for sharing this great tip

Wow! Thank you for sharing this great tip! 🙏😃

Thank you! I really need to do this!

I don't know how I missed this one, Angela, but I'm glad I found it! I once broke a plate in half while using it -- it was very bent (I have the normal-sized Bit Shot). So I had to buy a new set. But now, hopefully, I won't have to do that again! I have one very bent plate now, so I'm off to beat it into submission ... but I will use your method instead! (I should've known you'd have a solution to this problem!) Hugs from Ireland!

I love this idea

Thank you Angela!!
