Squedge 15 Spikes The Squedge 15 uses six pieces per quadrant as opposed to only four with the 22.5. The additional pieces offers an opportunity to do some delicate spikes. It looks so difficult, but it's the same Squedge magic!

Tool Preparation
Apply adhesive rings such as True Grips™ to both the back and front of the Squedge tool. This will keep the tool from slipping while cutting.
Also apply glow tape to the 30° lines in both directions. See the diagrams to the right. When doing this pattern you will need to pay close attention to the direction of your tool.
