Just got a minc...questions Dec 8, 2015 21:55:32 GMT

Hi!
I am wondering if anyone has any helpful hints about the Minc.
I tried it yesterday and totally melted 2 folders (The heat was set on 2 and then 3)
I then tried to foil with using a piece of cardstock as the folder and it worked great!

My question...
Does anyone have a cheaper alternative to the folders?
What are they made out of?

I love the look of the foil, and am excited to make a few cards with it this week.

I am a 40-something momma of 3 beautiful girls. I share them with my handsome hubby of 25 years. I am a nurse taking a new journey in my career and I think I like it! I love to make things. Any thing.

I've never used mine below the 3 setting and my folder is fine. Did it seem to pull everything through at a steady pace?

Same with me - I've used mine on 3 and 4 without any issues. Sounds like your machine is overheating.

I've used mine on 4 and have never had a melting problem.
