Hi,

How do i get my mosaic bits to have uniform breaks?

I am using mosaic ceramic nippers but I still get little dents and it is sooo ugly!

I also don't have any control over the shapes I am going to get when I break the ceramic. Are there any tips? I have two booklets but they don't tell anything about it.

Thank you:o)

It is very important to keep the wheels of the nippers completely straight. If you allow your wrist to lean to the left or the right it will result in a half moon shaped cut.
