To use the template on polymer, metal or ceramic clay, place a plain or textured slab on a Tuff Card or other work surface. You can safely rest your fingers on the template to hold it in place. Cut out the shape with our Ultra Clay Pick or a very fine needle tool. Start at the outside corners and cut to the inside corners for the cleanest cuts. Remove the template and lift away the excess clay.
For use on sheet metal, use a Scotchbrite pad to give the surface a soft satin finish, then use a scribe to scratch the shape onto metal. China white can also be used to paint on a white surface, or another method is to cover the metal surface with a label, then trace the shape with a sharpie. It's easier to see it this way and helps with more accurate cutting.

"I have a 4-inch stack of these templates, which seemed silly at first, but I love the fast, convenient repeatability. I simply thumb through the stack, pick a base shape, and then go. Yep, I can create my own (and I do, for special shapes), but it's nice to have these indexed and ready to go. The template material is thick, stiff, and sturdy enough that it will last, transparent enough to see what I'm doing through the template, and has enough tooth that I can write notes to myself directly on the template."
