Craig Gardner Posted March 15, 2008 Report Share Posted March 15, 2008 Presentation shields for dummies; is there a device for removing shields from the base unit? i have a few to engrave and wondered if there was a specific technique. i dont use a watch knife as it can scratch the sheild i use a lift stick similar but made of plastic and available from mulbery design and print.

k4mrc Posted March 15, 2008 Report Share Posted March 15, 2008 great if you have one - "pinger offer" if those customer's come in you can tell them to pinger off without offending them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kastanza Posted October 8, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2010 pinger update: i've put the stripper to one side and discovered that a set of small finger nail cutters from out of a xmas cracker ( great 'gift' i know!) works a treat.
