How to fit the foam in the paper punch

[Mahi Mermaid]

I know I've seen this somewhere but can't find it! Anyone know how to fit the foam sheets into the paper punch? I wanted to get the foam that has the self adhesive on one side but it's too thick, so I ended up getting much thinner foam but am now worried that the scales wont be as pronounced. Ideas?

Majhi Mermaid - Thanks, My scale board took me two months (I did have a vacation in the middle though and wasn't able to work on it). I used a fiscer (rough spelling) which I bought from Joan's Fabrics. It was difficult and I had to really push down to get it to punch out. I noticed it would start to get dull after a while so I took tin foil and would punch it in that for a while and it would sharpen right up. I hope this helps!

EDIT: Oops I forgot to mention that you have to take pliers and expand the puncher to fit the foam in.

I just copied that from my post on my tail making thread if you were wondering.
