It's best to use a continuous firm motion, holding the handle with pressure
toward the inside. Sometimes the cut will tend to drift on a curve and the
board will start to twist. Compensate by rotating the board in the opposite
direction of the curve. Hammering the handle with your fist will cause the
cut to drift and possibly get away from you. Watch your fingers too! If you
use factory pre-sensitized bords, leave the spacing paper that comes between
the boards on the bottom to prevent the resist from scratching.
