Cautions:  Take all necessary precautions and safety measures
regarding magnets.  

Keep magnets away from electronics, pacemakers, other medical devices, credit cards, each other, etc. The VELVET and VORTEX pucks are assembled with four individual magnets and were tested to have the same or greater pull as a 30 lb horseshoe magnet.  The magnets have been installed with adhesive, but may still breakaway if placed near a stronger magnet.  The pucks are shipped with a stainless steel cover for safety.  Please replace it when the puck is not in use. Similarly, the cartridges have their own plastic slide to protect it during shipping and to minimize magnets attracting on your worksurface.  Attracted magnets, cartridges and metal safety covers should always be separated by sliding sideways.

Care and Materials:  

Clean all pieces with mild soap and water only.  Harsh chemicals such as acetone may dissolve or ruin the PLA printed parts. Take care not to allow the system to sit in extreme temperatures such as a hot car for extended periods.  Minor blemishes or imperfections may be present in the printed parts or the pre-fab magnet pieces. 

Instructions and Tips:   

To assemble the velvet kit, slide the velvet puck inside the frame, magnets facing downward.  Insert the screw end of the wheel through the hole in the top of the frame and twist into the puck.

Set the height of the puck on the wheel prior to polishing by twisting it up and down the threads of the wheel.  After polishing, gently pull the wheel upwards, insert your finger and allow the puck to settle over your nail.  After magnetizing, lift the wheel up again and slide your finger back out.

You can place a finger from either direction in the base.  The finger rest is created as a guide for various depths and fingernail lengths. As a starting point, side “A” is intended for shorter fingernails and side “B” for longer.  The side windows can aid in placement.
  

It is recommended to magnetize one finger at a time. Apply base coat and a layer of polish before magnetizing.  Apply a thicker second coat and use the SnazzyMag effect of your choice, holding still for 30 to 60 seconds.  Place your finger in the same position after applying top coat and wait again.  Repeat for additional fingers.

The VELVET puck can be used to create a velvet or glass bead effect.  Gently spin the wheel to create a glass bead look.

The DIY cartridge has a magnetic plate installed inside on the blank side to use with your existing magnets.
 

The magnet and DIY cartridges can be snapped into the adapter in three places and the wheel can be twisted to multiple positions.  Try various combinations of angles, depth of the cartridge, height of the puck as well as finger placement to achieve unique effects.  Swatch sticks will need to be lifted up to the height of your fingernail to accurately test your variations.
