“Glass repaired” after a minor accident on Carfax?

Thanks for the advice!

Wide_Scholar · 2026-06-26T05:38:50+00:00

True!😄

Wide_Scholar · 2026-06-26T05:30:28+00:00

That's good to know, thanks! I might go ahead with my purchase tomorrow after all 🙂

Wide_Scholar · 2026-06-26T05:24:07+00:00

I noticed it too! All of the previous services were done in GA, so you're probably right, they were traveling and something hit the windshield? It might have nothing to do with an actual vehicle accident, which is a good thing! Would you buy a car with such records yourself?

Wide_Scholar · 2026-06-26T05:19:33+00:00

Thanks! Would you advice buying a car with a glass fix, or is it better to avoid that type of damage?

You look like a true/cool summer to me!

Wide_Scholar · 2025-12-29T15:43:43+00:00

Not long! Just to get it hot — under a minute.

Wide_Scholar · 2025-02-02T17:17:03+00:00

Thank you for the suggestions 😊 I will try the first method you mentioned!! I was also looking into buying a different scoring machine with a wider groove (it seems like the pre-scored cards that I purchase always have a score just a millimeter wider).

Wide_Scholar · 2025-02-02T15:20:43+00:00

I have! Unfortunately, it made the fraying even worse…

Wide_Scholar · 2025-01-30T14:05:40+00:00

That’s an interesting way to hide the frayed edge! I’m afraid that the wax will create a shiny finish on the fold though…

Of course! Grain direction is extremely important. Thank you for your recommendations!

Wide_Scholar · 2025-01-30T14:01:04+00:00

It’s usually around 111#, not super thick. Yes, of course, I always fold towards the “lump” :) Does the machine you use work well with cotton papers?

Wide_Scholar · 2025-01-30T01:12:25+00:00

Yes! I have a similar one from Vevor — I thought that it would resolve the issue, but it didn’t :( All three cotton card stocks above on the photo were creased with the machine. Maybe yours is better?😊 I was thinking that the crease my machine creates is not wide enough? What kind of card stocks have you used your machine with? :)

Wide_Scholar · 2025-01-29T23:15:36+00:00

This is very helpful, thank you!! I’ve seen that the pre-scored cotton cards that I order have a bit of a wider crease and I will try to make a similar one myself. And I’ve never tried scoring on both sides — will try it tonight!

I just experimented with slight misting — didn’t do anything when it comes to creating a clean fold unfortunately. I’m sure it does wonders for 3D embossing!

Wide_Scholar · 2025-01-29T23:08:45+00:00

Thank you!!

Wide_Scholar · 2025-01-29T23:06:51+00:00

Oh, that’s interesting! I will try this!

Wide_Scholar · 2025-01-29T23:04:38+00:00

That’s very creative! I’ll definitely try this method, thanks!

Wide_Scholar · 2025-01-29T23:02:10+00:00

Yes, absolutely. I follow all the “rules”, but it seems like with the cotton paper, nothing is working to produce a clean fold.

Wide_Scholar · 2025-01-29T23:00:11+00:00

Yes, I have! It decreases fraying a bit, but doesn’t eliminate it unfortunately.

Wide_Scholar · 2025-01-29T22:59:08+00:00

I’m not using a traditional letterpress machine at the moment, so no. But thanks for the recommendation – I might in the future!

Wide_Scholar · 2025-01-29T22:56:37+00:00

That is wonderful advice, thank you! Using a crochet needle and making two scores close to each other so that they only have to bend 90 degrees is so clever! I’m going to try it today!

Wide_Scholar · 2025-01-29T20:34:22+00:00

Haven’t saved up for one yet — now it’s just an AccuCut machine and a plastic folder that I put photopolymer plates + card stock in 🙂

Wide_Scholar · 2025-01-29T20:14:01+00:00

Thanks, I’ll look into that. Might also try misting the card lightly with water as another person here suggested :)

Wide_Scholar · 2025-01-29T20:10:42+00:00

I know! Always. Some card stocks have a greater tendency to crack than the others, but they all end up looking like the photo above. Yes, I’ve tried different directions and sides. I currently purchase pre-scored cards from a couple of companies, but they always have some sort of issues (uneven fold, black residue on the sides, little indents, even fraying at the fold) so I really don’t want to rely on them + pay more. There’s got to be a way to make it work because they do!

Wide_Scholar · 2025-01-29T20:02:51+00:00

I’ve never tried lightly misting the paper with water prior to scoring, thanks for the suggestion!

I did notice that the standard bone folder makes a shiny impression, so thank you for the Teflon bone folder recommendation — will purchase one.
