Ken asks…

Which system of measurement is best for paper crafts?

I've heard agate.. and my cousin swears on metric. Thought I'd see if there was any truth to either. 🙂

admin answers:

Most paper or card stock sold in the USA is measured in inches (imperial measurements).

Agate is usually what newspapers use to measure ad space.
I have never heard of Agate being used in card making and I have been a card maker for decades.

Metric is much more accurate and can be used with the USA imperial measurements.

I love my metal ruler with the cork backing (to prevent slipping) that has both imperial and metric on either side on the ruler front.

When measuring, always use one type (imperial or metric) of measurement for all the same project.

George asks…

Can you cut rough agate with a wet tile cutting saw?


admin answers:

A wet saw with a diamond blade will cut agate, the biggest problem is holding them. You might want to make or buy a rock clamp or rock vise.
