re. ASL Overlay Pack, any details?

[Alan Hume]

Hey Guys,
I just wondered if anyone had any details on the upcoming ASL Overlay pack?

Will it be coming out anytime soon?
Will it be die-cut at all so that you can just 'pop' them out rather than have to go through all the laborious work of cutting them out individually?
I was also wondering if anyone knew roughly how much it might retail for (so that I can tweak my budget)

Thanks for your thoughts guys

Though we'd all love it, in my opinion, the cost of creating a die for each of the several pages of overlays seems prohibitive.

You could always see if Olli wants to expand from clipping counters to cutting out overlays too.

Much obliged. Heh,heh, if I can twist Olli's arm it's certainly worth thinking about

Of course this could open up an entirely new ASL debate.

How do you cut out overlays?

Scissors? Razor blade? X-acto knife? Some esoteric and expensive devices?

This may require a questionnaire fromThe Ministry of Silly Polls.

Didn't we cover overlay cutting in 2020? (I use a box cutter with fresh blade, and very steady hand)

 

[fenyan]

Yes it's a chore almost worth paying for to avoid.

I cut the more difficult to access inner areas with a sharp xacto knife & metal ruler. Then do the rest of the trimming with a good pair of scissors.

I store them in a zip ring binder with an assortment of coin, card and pocket pages, in alphabetical order.

Maybe some info you can put in the overlay poll.

Scissors, Razor blade, X-acto knife.
All the above and my pocket knife.

I guess I'll need to buy an X-acto knife then, last time I had a go at cutting out overlays (ages ago) I just used a pair of scissors, they came out okay I suppose but a few knicks here and there
