Hello, The foil trick will work to a help but if you have a nic in your blade...sorry it is a gonner, unless it does not bother you or you press hard on the board. This will work for scissors also. FYI if you blade is really dull...it will only help a bit. But it does make it last so at least you can finish your project...I find. :)

Today the light bulb finally lit up, and I searched for how to sharpen your own rotary blade. I haven't tried this, but it sure won't cost much to try it. Supposed to work with scissors also.
