Heat Settings.
For best results, longest tip life, reduced carbon build-up, and maximum comfort, always use the lowest heat setting that will do the job.
Extra handpiece?
If your burning techniques require high heat settings, consider buying another handpiece. When one gets too warm to hold, switch to the other. Let the warm one cool for 10 minutes or more.
Carbon Build-up.
Carbon build-up on tips can be quickly and effectively removed with one or two passes over a Razertip tip cleaner/scraper. This economical cleaner won't wear out your tip, and you can leave your burner on when using it. One hand operation means you don't have to put your work down, either. You should never use abrasives (sandpaper, emery, rouge) to clean your tip - they will wear it out prematurely, and may cause quicker carbon build-up.
Extending your reach.
When working in confined areas, you can reach further with your handpiece by sliding the foam grip back on the pen. Extra or replacement grips are available, as are extra-thick grips.
Melting materials.
If your application calls for burning any material that melts, you must use a fixed-tip pen. Molten material will interfere with tip contact and cause handpiece failure. Be sure to work in well-ventilated conditions at all times when burning, but especially while melting substances. Many materials give off dangerous fumes when melted or burned.
Smoke in your eyes?
Try burning in front of a fan. Be sure the fan is sucking the air away from you, not blowing towards your work as the moving air will cool the tip too quickly.
Solid 2" x 3/32” diameter ceramic abrasive sticks will fit directly into your rotary tool. Ceramic sticks will outlast conventional stones by many times. Because they are uniform in diameter, they are absolutely vibration-free and they cut cleaner and smoother than any other texturing tool. Available in 8 grits from #120 to #1200
