Oh No! My GO-CCO!

I am so fuming mad at myself! I just burned an image on my gocco without putting a screen in. The image burned to the plastic that holds the screen in place. Look at this sh*t:


I could cry. My gocco is BRAND NEW! This is only the ninth time I was using it! I don't know how I could have done this. I have panicked e-mails out to Judy at Northwoods and one other distributor that I found in the U.S. that I think has the right part. There is a company in Australia that has it, but the shipping will probably cost the same as a new machine.

Son of a b*tch. I am so annoyed. There has to be a Polish joke in here somewhere...

Holy shit. I didn't even know that was freaking possible. My God. I am so sorry Tina. That sucks! Is there anything I can do to help?

I'm sure you have done this, but thought I would ask: Have you tried using the ink remover on the plate?

Have you posted to the Weddingbee board? Lots of the Bees are Gocco queens. Surely one of them has made this mistake or knows someone who has?

I hope you can fix this without paying a boatload of cash! Good luck! Seriously, if I can help, I'd be glad to bust out my Gocco!

Maaaaan - this is something I would do if I owned a Gocco. Which is precisely why I don't. Hasel is prolly right - post on the boards and someone will know.

I'm sorry luv - that sucks majorly!

hi! i'm a fan of your blog, and i had to comment. I'm pretty sure you can just buy new sticky pads for the gocco- a replacement- then you odn't have to get a new one!

unless i am mistaken, (the description isn't very clear), i think you can just get this: http://www.welshproducts.com/process/proddetail.php?prodID=G86GP&basicID=G86GP

good luck!
