Here's an easy solution to eliminate sticky edges that can result when an item has been run through a Xyron. With the white release paper up, use moderate pressure to burnish (twist cap from bottle, edge of charge card, edge of craft stick, etc.) along all outer edges of the item. Turn over and remove the clear liner.
If you've had problems with either Xyron or sheet adhesives adhering unevenly to thin and/or fragile papers (mulberry, wrapping tissue, etc.), burnishing usually solves the problem. With the white release paper up, use moderate pressure to burnish the entire surface of the item. Turn over and remove the clear liner.
Remember, burnishing is still needed when these items are adhered to another surface. When burnishing fragile papers, place a scrap piece of vellum over the paper.

Thank you, Nancy, for the Xyron tip! It never even occured to me to burnish after (much less before removing!) -- and was really frustrated on attempts to adhere mulberry paper! Thanks again- SusanM
Susan,
You're more than welcome! And you're right...mulberry paper can be a pain. Fortunately, burnishing the back of the Xyron
takes care of the problem in almost every case.
