What is the best way to use FMM tappets?
No matter how hard I try I just cannot use these!! I really really want to. I’ve tried with flower paste rolling really thin and my letters just get stuck inside. Please any tips??

Hi, i normally rub them over with trex off of my hand & when i have got the pate on the lettrs i run the rolling pin over the letters from the front side then bash them out.
There is a video on youtube that shows you how.
Hope this helps
gucci9o6 try useing a little cornflour when you cut out the letters or numbers leave the paste in the tappit for a few seconds then tap .Do you take the middle out of you’r exsp O’P with a pin before you tap it out? hope this helps
It can also help if you let the paste dry out just a little so it doesn’t stick as much. I used to have the same problem and almost gave up on them, they can be tricky, but now I love them!
I use a small paintbrush to push the letters out from the back!
I grease the letter I want before use and it really is a good bash rather than a tap. When desperate I have greased the paste first. You might want to look at Windsor Clikstix
