Vent: My new bone folder left a shiny mark on the cover paper

I was working on a custom notebook for a friend, using some nice 120gsm paper for the cover. After scoring the fold lines, I noticed a weird shiny streak right where I pressed. Turns out the folder had a tiny, almost invisible burr on the edge from the factory. I had to redo the whole cover piece, which set me back about an hour. Learned to run my finger along new tools before they touch good materials. Anyone know a good way to smooth out a bone folder edge if this happens again?

Ugh, that's just how it goes with new stuff now.

Tell me about it.

Right? What's the last thing you bought that felt like it was half-finished when you got it? My new headphones needed a software update just to connect... and then the app crashed.

Oh man, @blairc90, I just factory reset mine and it worked like a charm.
