Is anyone using any lube at all on their aluminum stock or inside their check maker?
I made a bunch of checks a year or so ago when I got this and had absolutely no problems. It was stored as carefully as my moulds and looks like it did the day I got it - as does the material I got from Yonkie.
Today, I get three or four checks before I start to get galling inside the forming die just as the cups are formed. I even had a couple of the bottoms punch out and gads what a mess! I only have one thickness of material in strips and it is clean and bright - same as I used before.
I searched and all the results regarding galling came up "LEE moulds."
