Default What's the Bigshot sandwich stack for poppystamp dies?

I'm sure the answer has already been posted somewhere on SCS but I can't find it. Need the sandwich stack for the Poppystamps steel craft dies for a Bigshot (the blue one). Does it matter? Should I keep adding shims until I get a good cut? I don't want to experiment too much to avoid damaging the die. Or are the steel dies pretty indestructible?
Assistance would be very much appreciated. Thank you.

I use the same sandwich for almost all dies, Spellbinders, PTI, Memory Box, Cheery Lynn, etc. They're all so similar in size the only thing you might need to adjust are the shims. It's hard to damage dies though, they are steel after all. You'd be more likely to damage your Big Shot than your dies. If you have to force your sandwich through and it's very hard to crank, your sandwich is too thick and you can break your BS. That's about the only thing to keep in mind when using dies.

Just use the sandwich for the Big Shot for the 'Wafer Tin' die. I use this for any of the thin steel dies. (And I have tooooo many)

Good luck!
