I use a table foiler as mentioned above, except for all those textured glass, tight or little pieces, then I find there is nothing better than good on "hands on" to get a good fit.  It takes light and practice.... lots and lots of practice, but then it just kind of falls in place.  Like riding a bike, once you get it.. you got it!

me I got the table foiler but it just isnt working for me....... i try it and some times it works and sometimes it dosnt soooooo the best thing for me is hand foiling, I can get that right most of the time. Maybe if u get a foiler in the begining it is easier to learn than if you try later on in your craft.

I had the same experience Jackie. I bought one, tried it out, hated it and returned it. It was faster for me to do it my hand.

I found that after a little while using the table foiler the disc was trying to seperate and it just wasn't foiling right. Thanks to some advice I got on here I pulled the disc apart and put a drop of super glue in the hole and put it back together. Does not seperate now and works great. I think it  just takes a little time to get the hang of it but well worth it.
