1.2. Stripper pins are missing
Most Bottom Crust Die Sets have holes around their edge for round-headed stripper
pins. Proper operation and condition of the stripper pins is essential to proper

spaced symmetrically around the edge of the die. Only the top-most flat spring should
be positioned on top of each stripper pin.
Missing or bent stripper pins will result in pans sticking to the die.

Your pressing results will be unpredictable and inconsistent if you use a pan other than
the one that the die was made for. Additionally, using the wrong or deformed pan in a
Comtec Die Set can cause other problems like bent stripper pins, uneven crust
