Vintaj Metal Embossing with Sizzix Big Shot

[dysmis]

This is great - thanks for showing me another use for my big shot! But I have a lot of texture plates, and when I run them through with metal blanks and the impression pad (according to the Big Shot instructions) no impression gets stamped into the metal. It's like there isn't enough pressure. Have you figured out the magic formula (shims, maybe?)/placement/secret to getting the texture plates to work on metal? thanks!
