Point Techniques
Universal Point
Performs all fundamental wood burning techniques including line drawing, curves, and shading. Change the angle and grip of the tool to achieve different techniques.
Flow Point and Mini Flow Point
Use to burn curves, dots, and fine details. Works well for cursive writing and dot shading techniques.
Shading Point
Creates smooth, even shading in subtle gradations or dark, bold shading. Use different pressure, speed, and movement for contrasting looks. Leaf shapes are easy to stamp using the shape of the point.
Tapered Point
Cuts intricate designs from stencil material & burns extra-fine, detailed lines.
Calligraphy Point
Creates basic calligraphy style lettering and shaping. For lettering hold as you would a calligraphy pen at a 45° angle. Use the flat side of the point to form lettering components.
Hot Knife Point
Cuts and shapes a variety of materials such as foam, faux pumpkins, and foam core board. It is best to use a glass work surface with this point.
Soldering Point and Lead-Free Solder
Use together to join metal. For successful soldering adhesion, and point protections, the Soldering Point should be tinned (coated with solder). To do this, apply a small amount of solder to the Point and wipe off on a damp sponge. Wipe Soldering Point often to remove flux buildup. If flux is hard to remove, quickly rub the Point on fine sandpaper and re-tin again.
Stamping Points
Use to create interesting patterns and borders on multiple surfaces. Simply press the point down and hold for a few seconds to stamp the design on to your piece.
