It funny that there is so much static electricity on those plastic sheets
that often they'd be stuck to my sweater when I'd carry one of those books.

Hi Guys,
I never liked thermoform. When I was first learning Braille, after three
weeks, I told my instructor that I didn't like the grade 2 guide. He said,
fine rewrite it! I looked at him like he was an idiot. So, anyway, I
started it. The grade 2 guide that they had was in alphabetical order. It
is good but not for a beginner. I wrote a guide in dot order starting with
dot one etc. I guess they liked it. I had to write it on master paper and
then it was thermoformed.
Several months later, I was taking an electronic course and the teacher
asked if anyone could put Braille on some copper sheets. They were to be
labels for electronic symbols. The problem was that I had to use a slate
and stylist but the copper sheets were too large to put the slate on it the
normal way. I had to lay the top of the slate on the sheet and very
carefully press the stylist but not too hard. It took me some time and I
was drenched in sweat. Then it was thermoformed.
I was never trained to use a slate and stylist but I did my best.
