Tick Begone

And upgrade to the favorite Tick Attack board, this Tick Begone (with a hexagon) is used in the same way with several advantages

1. Long-lasting life.  It should endure for hundreds of uses instead of the 30 or so uses from the Tick Attack board
2. The highly controlled tick removal surface
3. is more comfortable to hold and longer to use in older books, too.
4. Comes in multiple colors.

Some caution:  You should never use a tacking iron at higher than 130F on a comic book.  125F is preferred.  These part will be primarily made of PLA or PETG (when available). PLA starts to soften at 140F and PETG at 175F. with 8-10 seconds of tacking iron application through a cover and a piece of silicone paper, they won’t soften at all, but do not rest your tacking iron on the tick begone.  never use a Tick Begone in a heat press or use the top surface to remove ticks or wrinkles.  Use a chamfer board for that!
