At the suggestion of reader Miss Charlie, I took a pair of needle-nose pliers padded with tissues to my A5 Filofax punch and finally succeeded in removing a couple of years' worth of chads.In case anyone else is having the same problem, I've documented the process in my Flickr photos. Click the image to see them.
Congratulations on your chad-removal success! Now I want to know: did you replace the base plate, or did you leave it open?
ReplyDeleteOh, I replaced it. Leaving something unassembled is a sure way to guarantee I'm going to lose part of it. But the idea of just punching and letting the chads fall free is very tempting!
ReplyDeleteOooh, I made the front page! :o)
ReplyDeleteGlad it worked for you anyway!
My comment is somewhat related. I think. Have been searching for a A5 hold punch for my Filo, the Filo brand is quite expensive. I came across an A5 6-hole punch made by M system, compatible with Filofax and it is only $15.00. http://www.msystem.com/6_hole_Punch_p/a57300.htm
ReplyDeleteHas anybody used this brand before?
Thanks very much!! It worked very well.
