  Mylar: 0.002” vs. 0.003”

  Aside from the obvious thickness difference, what other things are different between 0.002” mylars and 0.003” mylars?

  I’m mainly interested in:

  - The glossy-ness of final product (button)
  - The look of final product: do they look the same? If not, which looks better?
  - Durability: does the thicker mylar protect button design better?

  Basically, I’d like to know if they both produce the indistinguishable buttons.

  BTW, I just registered today but been visiting the forum for awhile. I’d like to thank ABM for creating this forum. I’ve seen many blogs and tutorials before, but this is the first forum I’ve encountered and it’s FANTASTIC!!

  Hello ABM, I see a lot of button makers on your website. Can I ask what makes your button machines better or any different than the others I see on the internet for button making?

  Thanks for you response to my previous question.  Here is another one: can I use heavy photo paper with your 3″ button machine?  How about the 3 1/2″ inch button machine?  I want to make some cool buttons out of a family portrait for an upcoming reunion (yes…I am that guy) and want the best quality possible.  Thanks in advance!

  The title of my post says it all: is button making hard?  It looks complicated and I’m a little wary of buying a bunch of supplies if I won’t be able to do it well.  Is it really as hard as it looks?  Where do I start?

  Longtime reader, first time poster here.  I’ve been perusing your website trying to determine what supplies I need for my button making project.  I have a pretty good idea on the machine and pinback parts, but don’t know what cutter I need.  What is the difference between the adjustable rotary cutter, the circle cutter, and the punch cutter?  Any help would be much appreciated.
