Instructions for use – Ringstar curve running pliers

To get the feel of the pliers, its best to practice on some scrap glass.

• With a good oil-filled glass cutter, score a curved line on your glass, ensuring it’s a good even score.
• Place the pliers over the end of the score at one edge of the glass with the viewing window uppermost.
• Position the score centrally in the window and apply pressure to start the score running, (grasping the pliers near the end of the handles gives best leverage).
• Reposition the pliers a few millimetres before the point where the score stopped running previously, apply even pressure once more, running the score and repositioning at intervals along the curve.
• Half way along, or where the score changes direction, start running the score again from the other end, meeting somewhere towards the middle.
