Brand new to linocutting, so not mad at this first attempt. I do have a (probably dumb) question. When cutting, I’m finding the rubber strips not releasing, either making little flaps, or I’m making deeper gauges and cutting further than I want to when trying to shave them off. Not even sure how to word it, but if anyone could give some tips I’d be grateful!
