I'll try that Dave. See the thing that makes it really difficult, aside from the fact that it's just a little heavy, not too bad but still, is that as I try to open it the bottom starts coming up with it, so I actually have to hold down the bottom platen with my foot in order to open the press (it's on the floor).

And one more thing - the press doesn't have a locking feature (I've seen that some of the models click and sort of lock when u close it, then unlock when the time is up), so when I close it I naturally try to press it down as much as I can to make sure it's tight. Well the press doesn't have any support/stand at the front part, so I have to be carefull because if I press it down too much, then it tilts forwards. Am I supposed to buy some type of additional stand unit for the front?
