I made a rubber skirt for a spinner yesterday and my question is do you have to peel every single strand apart by hand or is there anotyher way? Very time consuming.

When you cut the skirt with a pair of sharp scizzors, stretch it out, then cut as it is stretched. The strands will seperate beautifully. Look in your new Stamina catalog and get a skirt tool, only $5.[:bigsmile:]

I think I read somewhere "Spray with WD-40 and roll between your palms to break apart". The wd-40 is also suppose to stop the strands from later melting together, or, melting into a plastic trailer. Never tried it myslef, sounds like it could work.

1. Have someone hold the skirt at the band tightly.
2. Grab the last 1/2 inch of the skirt on one end.
3. Stretch the skirt and cut the skirt close to where you are holding it with scissors.
4. Keep pulling the skirt as you cut and the strands will separate.

Don't spray your skirts with WD-40!

If you use round rubber or silicone skirt material they will not melt together.
