FAQ – i-Mend Self Mending Deck

  • Will the i-Mend Deck work with my die cutting machine?
    Our Decks will work with most physical die cutting machines with a 6 1/8″ opening. This includes hand-cranked and electric machines.

    Our Decks are 6 1/8″ wide and will not fit a Cuttlebug machine. 

  • Will the i-Mend Deck work with my Gemini Jr machine?
    When used properly, the i-Mend Deck will work with the Gemini Jr machine. Use their standard recommended sandwich for thin metal dies. IMPORTANT: Flip and/or rotate the i-Mend Deck after each pass for longer wear. May require thin shims for best results.

  • Will the i-Mend Deck work with the Vagabond machine?
    Yes if used properly and flipped and/or rotated after each pass.

  • Can I use the i-Mend Deck with the Sizzix Precision Base Plate?
    No. Note that your results may vary if you use a thin metal die that has previously been used with the Sizzix Precision Base Plate due to the compromised cutting surface of the dies.

    If necessary, use a damp paper towel and cold water to wipe the i-Mend Deck surface clean. Do not use harsh detergents. Do not expose to hot water.
  • Will the i-Mend Deck work with steel rule dies?
    Yes but it will increase surface wear.
  • Can I use the i-Mend Deck with the i-Mend PRO Decks?
    Yes. You can use an i-Mend Deck in place of the hard cutting deck in your PRO Deck sandwich.
