I went to a frame shop. They have plexiglass scraps, 6 x 9. They use plexiglass as their “glass” when they frame pictures. These pieces are the same thickness as the original sizzix die and work the same way. Free. They throw the scraps away.
News Flash. Your tip works great, but I took it one step further. I put two warped plates in a Pyrex cake pan , put an old dish cloth over the dies and poured boiling water from my tea kettle over the dies about half way up the pan. THEN, I went to the garden and got a brick, placed the brick on the wash cloth (so it wouldn't scratch anything) and left the pan on the counter for about an hour. (You could do this at night and leave it all night). Bingo! They were flat as flat. It uses less water and you don't have the worry about breaking the pad by over bending it. Try it--You'll like it.
I've done the same thing! Did it as I was making my hot water bottle in the evening, when I wouldn't be needing the plates, nice and flat the next morning ready to be used right away.
Just cleaned a bunch of plates and they are looking good. I haven't been successful in bending them yet but am rewatching the video. My ebosser is giving me fits about cutting detailed dies and I think its cause the plate tends to warp even though I flip it every pass. Some of the plates I cleaned were over ten years old.
I put mine in a casserole dish, poured on boiling water, let them sit for about 30 seconds to heat up, then put them warped side up on a cold marble cutting slab and set a full gallon of water on each. Went off to do other things and by the time I got back they were cool and flat 👍
I have a cuttlebug and I have found that when cutting w/dies, I use the C plate along with one B plate because it is thicker and can withstand all the cuts. When using embossing folders, I use two b plates. this keeps the plates from warping.
I keep a bottle of spray 70% isopropyl alcohol in a spray bottle next to my homemade (thank you bunches) stamp cleaners and spritz stuff frequently to sanitize and clean. Also you can put your plates between layers of a towel and iron with your regular iron. Love your videos.
I have a cutting pad that is bent in both directions. By that I mean that if I hold it over the middle sink portion, it snaps in that direction. If I turn it over, it snaps into the other direction. Do you know what I mean? I'm wondering if it needs to be placed under something heavy in boiling water to keep it in the "middle" so to speak.
Hey Lindsay, I really appreciate all the great tips you share with us. Here's one I learned and want to share with you. Cuttlebug cutting plates are much better quality than Sizzix. I use my Cuttlebug plates in my Big Shot with some adjustments to the Sizzix platform and they work just fine. I got my Cuttlebug in 2006 and the plates aren't nearly as warped as the Sizzix plates, that I got in 2010. One of my Sizzix plates actually has a hump in the middle that's about an inch high. I'm going to use your tip to see if I can fix it. Many Thanks Love and Light Vivian
Oh My Goodness!! I just ordered my first die cutting machine after saving for ages. I had no idea this problem even existed. I am so surprised that manufacturers give you a product that deteriorates so quickly. So happy I randomly found you and so relieved there is a fix. I would have been so disappointed.
I use a combination of this technique with another technique - and have never had the issue with over heating that is shown. I take 2 casserole dishes that fit inside each other. I fill the smaller one with water and heat it in the microwave until its boiling. Then I set the plate in the larger dish, pour half of the water in the larger dish, then set the smaller dish (still half full) on top. I let it sit until the water has cooled. The heat levels the plate and even smooths it out a little.
So sensible and easy for anyone to do. Thanks so much Lindsay. I finally gave in to the Sizzix big shot and am trying to learn all I can about the care of of the plates. Knew I could count on you. :-)
Thank you so much for sharing this tip! My plates are really in need of some care and this technique seems safe to try. English is not my first language so I didn't understand well what did you squirt on the plate after cleaning and wiping. Was it alcohol-based hand sanitizer? I wouldn't suggest using alcohol because it cause the acrylic to craze with minute cracks.
Wow, they look MUCH better than last week lol. My first die cutter was a Spellbinders Wizard. It was second hand and the plates were really warped. The first time I used them they actually exploded where they were so warped and worn, and of course there's 300 pound pressure (according to the promo videos), so they shot out of the end of the machine like a rocket, and landed on the other side of the room. Don't know if your rejuvenation secret would have helped them as I think they were more than ready to go, but now that I have a nice new A4 machine (bought half price in an end of year sale last year), I'll make sure I do this to the plates when they need it :)
I watched and I don't even have a die cutting machine. ;-) It's on my wish list, so I tell myself I'm storing up knowledge for when I do have one. There will probably be a bigger and better way to die cutting by then. Maybe plates will even be obsolete. Perhaps we'll all have laser machines. Wouldn't that be cool?
I have a slightly different problem, where I've rolled my Cutting plates slightly off course a few times and the edges started getting ground at and became sharp any suggestions on how to fix this? I had considered sanding the edges but was unsure if it would damage the plates further. Thanks in advance for any help
I just saw a video from a stampin up demonstrator, can’t remember who, and she said start with new plates, every time you cut press down in the middle of the top plate right before you roll it through, if it gives, flip it over, if it doesn’t leave it and it will never warp in the first place.
I am so happy I found this video! I bought my Big Shot in May of this year -- only 3 months ago -- & suddenly I noticed that one plate was completely warped! I didn't even know this was possible! I was just about to order replacements when I came across your video, & I'm so happy I did. I should've known the Frugal Crafter would have a remedy! Now I'm off to straighten out those babies!
Thank you for a wonderful advice. I will try but wonder if I can do it because mine is like a boat. Is there anyway to clean self healing cutting board?
Dear Miss Weirrich I tried your tip for fixing warped plates,we use a gemini die cutter and the plates had got badley warped,fist i tried useing water frome the tap no joy,then I used water from the kettle this made them worse,last resort i got the steam iron out set it to max, wrapped a single plate in a wet tea towel and ironed away, and apresto it word, thanhs for the tip will keep my eyes on you.Thank you
The Gemini junior has some cutting plates that might be glass? I wonder if this will work? I know the cleaning will help. There is also a metal plate I use all the time and it gets pretty messed up with heavy use. Does anyone have any great ideas on those Gemini different plates? I am going to try the self healing cutting mat for sure, then maybe you don’t need all those other plates?
i'm also toying with the idea of using one of my self healing cutting mats as a plate as it's the same thickness and i wonder if it does heal all the cuts, BUT i haven;t figured out how to cut my A4 size to an A5 size ;-)
Maaike Uijthoven Unfortunately when my machine was new I was experimenting and chopped up my cutting mat. I duct taped it but because the mat is made to be slick the tape did not hold. My advise is not to try this unless your intention is to emboss and not to cut :)
Love your videos! Just wondering if I could put mine between some greaseproof paper and iron on a low setting instead? 🤔 Or is that a really silly idea?
I tried but mine didn't work. I don't think my water gets hot enough. I will try pouring boiling water on them like another person commented on. Thanks.
I needed this too, so I guess most of us haven't been cleaning or straightened our cutting pads. . .lol! I laughed before the video started and thought, "I must be an official Lindsay stalker if I am gonna watch her wash dishes now!" ;-)
Thanks for great video! One question: how long do they stay like that aften you've bent them back. I have a feeling that after 10-15 times of use, the are back to the same state. Does anyone know?? 🤔
Let me ask...who says it has to be those acrylic plates? Can't you use something like the cutting boards that crafters use to cut on with a rotary cutter or an exacto knife? I think they make you think you need them.
Came here to figure out how to get a broken off screw out my screw die cutter plate for making watch screws, think i may be in the wrong place🤣 great video either way!
hand sanatizer melts stamps please keep this in mind it will still effect the stamp wiping the plates you will regret it cut a piece of self healing mat to the size you wont buying any plates
straiten should be "straighten"... but anywho, TFS I try to flip them on and off and haven't used it a whole bunch and... still it's warped so... this may help....
I just got my first die cut machine. I rotate and flip the top cutting plate but all of a sudden it is like a C now. Also is it normal for the cutting pad to get deep indents of the die shape? Thanks
Hi, Lindsay! Its Masha again. I couldn't fine your video about how to clean and restick the cutting mat with the goo gone. I did just from my memory but it didn't work - its stopped being sticky and doesn't hold the paper anymore. I covered it with the spray glue for that purpose made by Eclips. Any advise would be great! TY very much! U ve been so helpful all the time! much respect to you, Masha
Masha Fromrussia do not use goo-gone or it might take away all the adhesive on the mat. First wash it with a dishcloth and dish soap and air dry, that should make your mat sticky again. If not you need to tape the sides of the mat and spray with quilter's basting spray and that will re stick it.
I am from Germany and have a question that may sound strange to you. What is the difference between hand sanitizer, dishwash detergent and liquid Soap?
Hi, how can I prevent the scratches on the plates from "embossing" other projects. I have tried keeping a particular plate for the non cut side, unfortunately the blunt side of the die embeds in the top plate. I love my sizzix , but this is a little annoying.
+thefrugalcrafter Lindsay Weirich wait, wait, wait a second... I am confused about this one... put copy paper between the plates and die backs? To prevent the dies from cutting the plate....?
WOW! Is right, this is about one of the thousands things I have tried, and only the second that has worked....I thank you.... I....... tried this last year after watching your demo. I believe I said a big thanks then also....i had to watch it again to make sure I get it right.. I didn't I'm saying thanks again that it as still here for me to watch ..... THANKS AGAIN for this fabulous easy to follow instructional video!
Thanks for the tip. I have a magnetic platform (best time saving purchase I have made in 2014) and it works best when you have a flat cutting plate. Thanks again!!!!
This is great, thank you!! I wonder if there's any type of sandpaper we can use to kind of buff out the scratches or something.. I dunno. Anyway, thanks again - love your videos!
You have such wonderful ideas! I was going to buy new pads today but I guess I was suppose to watch you first....thank you saved abt $7-$8 thank you...
Hi Lindsay. I wonder if soaking the plate briefly in boiling water would work? I would put my plate in the sink, pour boiling water over with the drain plugged and let it soak for a few minutes??? Hmmm. I will try it and let you know if it works.
I went to a frame shop. They have plexiglass scraps, 6 x 9. They use plexiglass as their “glass” when they frame pictures. These pieces are the same thickness as the original sizzix die and work the same way. Free. They throw the scraps away.

Fantastic tips! Much better than putting them in the oven, since toxic fumes are released if you heat plastic or plexiglass in the oven!
After reading all the comments and watching tons of videos I just think it will be easier to go on amazon and order a new set 😊
Some people don't have that kind of money. Mine warped horribly in 3 days.
no. i can't afford that. mine warped in the first 10 days of use. and i did all the right things, turning, flipping, cussing, etc.
Mine warped after 5 passes. Brand new every thing 😮
I have a cuttlebug and I have found that when cutting w/dies, I use the C plate along with one B plate because it is thicker and can withstand all the cuts. When using embossing folders, I use two b plates. this keeps the plates from warping.
You can also heat it with you heat gun, that works

I am so surprised that manufacturers give you a product that deteriorates so quickly. So happy I randomly found you and so relieved there is a fix. I would have been so disappointed.
Thank you I was thinking that I was going to have to buy some new ones. Oh let me count the ways I love the frugal crafter - too many to count!!!!
Brilliant Lindsay! I’ll get my plates unwarped today! I wondered if I could get those tiny pieces of paper out.
What? I'm not the only one without a sink in my craft room?
She wasn´t in her craft room...she was in her kitchen, since she does Not have a sink in her craft room. :)
I believe Varvara Barbara was being sarcastic... but, thanks for the comment...
My problem is that I don’t have a double sink to even have a part in the center!
Thanks, I love this tutorial. Do you know if a heat gun would be too hot to use instead of water?
thank you...my one plate looks more like a bowl lol...~Peggy
I'm late to the party but hey cool! Now to go clean...
I use a combination of this technique with another technique - and have never had the issue with over heating that is shown. I take 2 casserole dishes that fit inside each other. I fill the smaller one with water and heat it in the microwave until its boiling.

Use junk mail to keep your paper from getting marks. Check out Connie Long Stewart for her tip on this.
So sensible and easy for anyone to do. Thanks so much Lindsay. I finally gave in to the Sizzix big shot and am trying to learn all I can about the care of of the plates. Knew I could count on you. :-)

To save water :) Put boiled water in a pan. Just use silicone mitts so you don't burn yourself :)
Self healing mats are worth trying.
Just thinking our hands won't get burned.
Genius, thank you so much.
Wish I could like this ten or twenty times! I so needed this tip!
Thanks for the great tip I Will try this thank you for sharing with me
Omg mine broke too after a couple off uses.
Fantastic! Must try it! I hope it works as well for me!! Thanks 😊💖
Thank you for a wonderful advice. I will try but wonder if I can do it because mine is like a boat. Is there anyway to clean self healing cutting board?
What about...filling sink with boiling hot water...place a pot filled with water ..place on top of plates...leave till they are flat.
That would probably work
After cleaning a heat gun works well to straighten them! Great tip on the hand sanitizer
Will it work with VERY warped plates?
Can the magnetic pad be cleaned and flatten the same way?
I don't know, sorry:(
@Marina the magnetic ones are not supposed to warp I have heard...
Hello from the UK -Thank you for sharing, my plates could do with some TLC, I will try this one.
Happy crafting
Dear Miss Weirrich I tried your tip for fixing warped plates,we use a gemini die cutter and the plates had got badley warped,fist i tried useing water frome the tap no joy,then I used water from the kettle this made them worse,last resort i got the steam iron out set it to max, wrapped a single plate in a wet tea towel and ironed away, and apresto it word, thanhs for the tip will keep my eyes on you.Thank you
Thanks great tip, I can’t get that stuff you get from Dollar tree what should I use in the UK any idea
You van just scrub them with dish soap and a soft brush or rag.
The Gemini junior has some cutting plates that might be glass? I wonder if this will work? I know the cleaning will help. There is also a metal plate I use all the time and it gets pretty messed up with heavy use. Does anyone have any great ideas on those Gemini different plates? I am going to try the self healing cutting mat for sure, then maybe you don’t need all those other plates?
Is there any way to contact Gemini? I bought my machine through Amazon and they left me on hold for over 4 hours!
I dont know, I've never done business with them.
I have old style radiators. I put mine curved side up and I put a kettle 15 pound kettle bell on top of it. By morning it is straight!
Yippee! I’m need to card making and I knew if I “RUclipsd” how to flatten these someone would know! Gonna try it tomorrow. Thanks!
this hand sanitizer is a good thing for todays covid19 timeframe Stay Safe
Excellent info. Thank you ❤️🥰🇨🇦❤️
Brilliant, just brilliant.
Wow, it is now 2018 and my plates are 5 months old and warped already. Love your channel so much. TYFS.
Patricia Chance: when using an iron to flatten the plates, what setting did you use? And, I will also try the heat tool!
i'm also toying with the idea of using one of my self healing cutting mats as a plate as it's the same thickness and i wonder if it does heal all the cuts, BUT i haven;t figured out how to cut my A4 size to an A5 size ;-)
Maaike Uijthoven Unfortunately when my machine was new I was experimenting and chopped up my cutting mat. I duct taped it but because the mat is made to be slick the tape did not hold. My advise is not to try this unless your intention is to emboss and not to cut :)
Thank you so much for the tip came across your video and you've saved me from having to buy another cutting plate. Thanks hx
An excellent tip. I clean my self-healing cutting mats that way too.
you mean there is a way to salvage my self-healing WARPED mat?
Love your videos! Just wondering if I could put mine between some greaseproof paper and iron on a low setting instead? 🤔 Or is that a really silly idea?
You're a wizard Lindsay! Thank you.
Thanks! x
I tried but mine didn't work. I don't think my water gets hot enough. I will try pouring boiling water on them like another person commented on. Thanks.
Lindsay I really like your video. You are succinct in other words you don't rattle on about your cat, kids or whathaveyou. I appreciate that. Thanks
Thanks Lindsay, great to see you straighten them, was afraid to put pressure on them so your video was very reassuring.
What an amazing idea! Thanks so much for sharing 💕❤️
Thank you for the tip on straightening out the die cutting plates. Is their a way to straightening the top of the platform. canary ruth
Ruth Owens I have never had my platform bend, what machine are you using?
Thank you so very much for these awesome tips! Love your videos
I warped my die! How can I fix it?
It may be bent forever, I tried bendon one back and it snapped. Hopefully it still works ok for you.
How can I save this on my phone?
Add it to a playlist
i put mine in the oven wrapped in tinfoil and a fair bit of weight on top....i will try this method though
I needed this too, so I guess most of us haven't been cleaning or straightened our cutting pads. . .lol! I laughed before the video started and thought, "I must be an official Lindsay stalker if I am gonna watch her wash dishes now!" ;-)
OMG Maureen, you are funny!
Great tips! :)
Thanks for great video!
One question: how long do they stay like that aften you've bent them back. I have a feeling that after 10-15 times of use, the are back to the same state. Does anyone know?? 🤔
I used them for about 6 months of daily uses before they got really warmed again.
@@thefrugalcrafter Aha - great news! Thanks for getting back to me, Lindsey!
Obrigada...!
Thank you so much.
Sadly this doesn’t work for spellbinder plates. I spent 20 minutes trying this to no avail.
awesome, i just bought new ones, but i still have the old ones, gonna try this!! thanks for sharing :)
Wow! So much easier than the foil/oven method. Thank you!
Melissa T. N
Let me ask...who says it has to be those acrylic plates? Can't you use something like the cutting boards that crafters use to cut on with a rotary cutter or an exacto knife? I think they make you think you need them.
Came here to figure out how to get a broken off screw out my screw die cutter plate for making watch screws, think i may be in the wrong place🤣 great video either way!
yes, furnished plastic stick debris and scratch even washed with brushes?
thank you for the great tip!!
Just place ur plates under ur machines over night and thay are nice and straight
Thanks so much Lindsay for the tip, that's a fast way to get those pads clean and straight……gonna have to do it with mine!!! TFS…..Lori :-)
Fantastic idea! Thanks so much for sharing!
hand sanatizer melts stamps please keep this in mind it will still effect the stamp wiping the plates you will regret it cut a piece of self healing mat to the size you wont buying any plates
What do you think would happen if you had metal plates made and used them instead of plastic?
Plexiglass matts have memory ... hence heat will reverse distortion. Good tip
straiten should be "straighten"...
but anywho, TFS I try to flip them on and off and haven't used it a whole bunch and... still it's warped so... this may help....
I thought it looked funny but spell check did not catch it:)
I just got my first die cut machine. I rotate and flip the top cutting plate but all of a sudden it is like a C now. Also is it normal for the cutting pad to get deep indents of the die shape? Thanks
Hi, Lindsay! Its Masha again. I couldn't fine your video about how to clean and restick the cutting mat with the goo gone. I did just from my memory but it didn't work - its stopped being sticky and doesn't hold the paper anymore. I covered it with the spray glue for that purpose made by Eclips. Any advise would be great! TY very much! U ve been so helpful all the time! much respect to you, Masha
Masha Fromrussia do not use goo-gone or it might take away all the adhesive on the mat. First wash it with a dishcloth and dish soap and air dry, that should make your mat sticky again. If not you need to tape the sides of the mat and spray with quilter's basting spray and that will re stick it.

+Carmen Hofmann hand sanitizer is a thick alcohol gel and liquid and dish soap are fairly similar.
Hi, how can I prevent the scratches on the plates from "embossing" other projects. I have tried keeping a particular plate for the non cut side, unfortunately the blunt side of the die embeds in the top plate. I love my sizzix , but this is a little annoying.
just put a peice of copy paper over the die against the plate, it will take the hit and not your pretty cardstock:)
Thank you for replying. I love your videos, you are so inspiring :)
+thefrugalcrafter Lindsay Weirich wait, wait, wait a second... I am confused about this one... put copy paper between the plates and die backs? To prevent the dies from cutting the plate....?
ROFLMAO....Lindsey....watch your video and read the closed captioning....OH MY! it is not what you are saying at all!
WOW! Is right, this is about one of the thousands things I have tried, and only the second that has worked....I thank you.... I....... tried this last year after watching your demo.

The mine was so bad curved, I just taped one cutting pad on the magnet platform and now just work fine.
Thanks for an amazing share and wish I hadn't thrown away one of my B plates for the CB but live and learn. TFS
Thanks for the tip. I have a magnetic platform (best time saving purchase I have made in 2014) and it works best when you have a flat cutting plate. Thanks again!!!!
what was the product you squirted on? I couldn't make out what said, sorry
+Taffylassie Creations thanks for replying much appreciated xxx
Thanks!! Great-will do! Love the birds on your new post-you really have talent!! Marsha
This is great, thank you!! I wonder if there's any type of sandpaper we can use to kind of buff out the scratches or something.. I dunno. Anyway, thanks again - love your videos!
You have such wonderful ideas! I was going to buy new pads today but I guess I was suppose to watch you first....thank you saved abt $7-$8 thank you...
Hi Lindsay. I wonder if soaking the plate briefly in boiling water would work? I would put my plate in the sink, pour boiling water over with the drain plugged and let it soak for a few minutes??? Hmmm. I will try it and let you know if it works.
I couldn't get this to work for me. I even tried using boiling water.
Put it on a baking sheet and place it in the oven at 100 degrees for 5 minutes, watch it. Take it out when it is straight and let it cool
