Be careful when chopping the stuff up, make sure to cut it all square. if you are a little uneven and the sheets are narrower on top than on the bottom (or vice versa) they will not fit your holders. Of course: cut in total darkness and carefully tape off your cutter so you can align everything in the dark. Be careful and it will work. jeff |
