MARIAN - that may also be dependant on the paper you are using. My Mellotex will take an enormous amount of punishment before it lifts so much as a fibre. So I'm able to apply more pressure than you probably think I do. That's one reason why the softest grade I use is 2B - anything softer cannot stand the pressure!
