Hi! My name is Sheryl with expertvillage.com and today we're talking about mounting a photo or a poster. One of the other tools that we're using an Exacto knife. These don't cost very much at all and you want to have extra little blades in here to be able to use. When these blades start to get dull, you need to be able to have a pair of pliers. You're going to be able to break off. I'm not going to do this now, but you will just put this over here and break this off at a certain time so that you always have a nice sharp blade to work with. Children should not be playing with these tools, especially a very, very sharp Exacto knife. This can definitely cut and you want to be careful when you're around fabrics and carpets. Be careful what you're going to cut through. Learning how to use an Exacto knife is kind of a little bit of a skill. You need to be careful with this.
