[QUOTE="JCro57, post: 3118105, member: 92083"]A grease filled die is similar to dried pieces of cookie dough that fill up part of a cookie cutter, and thus the recessed image clogs up and can not stamp what is on the cutter. Grease attracts everything, including dust particles, and other small pieces of dried up grease (and whatever has stuck to it), and falls off from the force and repitition of striking.
